| (about 8 hours later) | |
| Jenny Nogues is a special-education teacher in Utah. Teachers there need only a concealed-carry permit to bring a gun to school. But for those who want more training, Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith runs a six-week class, covering tactical trauma education, school shooter simulations and de-escalation training. Nogues enrolled in the class hoping it would help her make a decision about whether to carry a gun in her classroom. | Jenny Nogues is a special-education teacher in Utah.
