Yesterday's School Active Shooter Symposium was the first of three programs taking place this month in the eastern and western parts of the state. The day-long forum for police, fire, EMS and school leaders was co-hosted by Massachusetts State Fire Marshal Peter Ostroskey and NFPA President/CEO Jim Pauley. Keynote speaker Michele Gay captivated the crowd with her candor and concerns about school safety. Gay is one of the founders of Safe and Sound Schools who lost her daughter, Josephine Grace, on December 14, 2012 in the Sandy Hook School shooting in Connecticut.
