More than a thousand people protested at the Tennessee State Capitol today in favor of tighter gun controls, urging the legislature to take action following this week’s mass shooting at Covenant Christian School in Nashville in which three children and three adults were killed, the Tennessean reported. The protests followed a Wednesday night candlelight vigil in Nashville where lawmakers stood alongside First Lady Jill Biden and musicians, including Sheryl Crow, who has called for stricter gun controls since the attack. The Tennessee Journal reports that in a letter to Gov. Bill Lee, Republican Lt. Gov. Randy McNally called for securing windows and glass in school buildings, adding magnetic locks on doors, modernizing camera systems and increasing armed guards.
