Florida Leaders Want Secret Service To Prevent School Violence

The U.S. Secret Service would get more involved in preventing school violence under a bill co-sponsored by several senators, including Florida's Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson.  The "Eagles Act" is named after the mascot of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, site of the Valentine's Day mass shooting that killed 17 people.  The measure provides funding to the Secret Service's National Threat Assessment Center, which Rubio says will provide top-notch research to stop school violence and help prevent future tragedies.

Nelson says the bill will help give school officials the resources and training they need to detect potential threats before they materialize.
