D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray 'open' to armed guards in all schools

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said Wednesday that he was willing to consider placing armed guards in the District’s schools, a proposal advanced in recent weeks by the National Rifle Association, but one that has drawn a frosty reception from gun control and education advocates.

“I think if it’s a way of further protecting our students, I’m open for that discussion,” Gray said, though he added that he had not studied the issue extensively.
