Schools, hospitals, malls examine safety in Newtown's wake

The Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Conn., last month shook the nation's sense of safety to its core when an elementary school, where parents sent their children everyday, was transformed forever by a terrible act of violence. In a WRAL News poll, 41 percent of respondents said better security would be the most effective way to reduce school shootings. At least one North Carolina school district is already taking action to put armed officers in their elementary schools.
