Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey introduced a plan on Monday that aimed to make schools and communities safer by increasing mental and behavioral health resources, restricting access to firearms and tightening background checks.
The plan, titled “Safe Arizona Schools Plan,” was issued in response to the Majory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine’s Day. A 19-year-old former student is accused of taking an assault rifle into the school and killing 17 people — mostly students — and injuring 14 more.
Ducey first announced some details of the plan last week, one day after a group of students held a sit-in at his office in an effort to speak with the Arizona governor about addressing gun control.
