James Lick High School staff members in San Jose are now locking the gates to the student parking lot in the middle of the day after a second violent incident on Aug. 17.
They also placed a school administrator to screen people walking in on foot. Other campus entrances are locked down."I can walk right up to the gym. If there's a PE class in there, then the doors are open," Hamner said.
In mid-August, two students were stabbed. One suffered life-threatening injuries after a group of young males entered campus during the school day. "I think once they're in the classroom and the doors close, there's a little more of a comfort feeling," Hamner said."But in the back of their mind, they're thinking,"What's going to happen next?'"
