How the deadly graduation shooting at Altria Theater is changing Richmond Schools’ policy

An internal investigation by Richmond Schools reveals several areas of improvement after a deadly graduation shooting outside the Altria Theatre. 18-year-old Shawn Jackson and his step father, Renzo Smith, were shot and killed in Monroe Park shortly after the graduation ended on June 6. Another teenager, Amari Pollard, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in the two deaths. Now, he faces one first-degree murder charge for Jackson. After the shootings, Richmond Public Schools (RPS) launched an internal investigation into the circumstances leading up to the situation. In documents obtained by 8News, the investigation identified six recommendations for substantial policy changes dealing with safety and response. The investigation is something that school board member Jonathan Young supports, but also says, is overdue. https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/...
