Lawmakers debate child safety in school classrooms after Texas school shooting
Fox News congressional correspondent Chad Pergram has the latest as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are on edge after this week's school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
The Donna Police Department in Texas on Thursday arrested four males, including two juveniles, in connection to threats made against a Donna school, according to local reports.
The threats came two days after 19 elementary school students and two teachers were killed in a mass school shooting in Uvalde on Tuesday, leading to threats from a handful of copycat actors across the state in the days that followed.
