At least 19 school support workers who might get guns under Florida plan busted for threats and violence
Florida lawmakers are expected to pass a school safety plan that would put guns in the hands of some school employees, but the measure could come with new risks.
A search of discipline files for licensed educators in the state turned up at least 19 incidents involving eligible school support employees who were accused of threatening students or colleagues, harming students or illegally using firearms, reported the Tampa Bay Times.

The newspaper identified more than 80 educators, including 19 support workers, who acted violently, made threats or were charged with a gun-related crime.
The database review found 13 threatened to shoot their students, including one frightfully aggressive email sent by one Palm Beach County teacher to colleagues and students.
An Orlando art teacher threatened to shoot an elementary-school student right between the eyes if he spilled paint.
Another teacher told a colleague he used student photos for target practice and wished one student would come on his property so he could shoot him.
