Controversial safety program has guns in Fontana schools

High-powered semiautomatic rifles are being stored at Fontana school campuses under a controversial safety program.
School district police purchased 14 of the Colt 6940 rifles last fall, well before the Connecticut school massacre.
The $1,000 rifles were received last month and are stored in locked safes on campuses.
Superintendent Cali Olsen-Binks says they’re only to be used if there’s an attack on a campus.
Fontana city Police Chief Rodney Jones tells KCBS-TV that the high-powered weapons are the best message to send to anybody thinking about harming children.
But critics say such guns have no place on campuses and the $14,000 should have been used to restore counseling programs that were eliminated in budget cuts.
