The director of the Duncanville Fieldhouse summer camp where a gunman opened fire Monday sat down only with FOX 4’s Shaun Rabb, heaping praise on police and camp counselors.
Coach William Pearson said both groups followed their training and likely saved lives."It was tough, it was tough, and everything turned out just the way we wanted. God was with us," Pearson recalled.
In Texas, lawful handgun owners are permitted to carry in city facilities, like libraries and rec centers. West said what happened in Duncanville has helped galvanize more support for what needs to be done in the state.
