This has been an ongoing problem with going to school in downtown Atlanta. Many Georgia State students are scared, WSBTV talked to a few students on campus today:
“I do expect to be safe, especially in the library where most laptops, iPad, tablets are, and I started to feel safe when I saw an increase of security and then another incident occurred, so I’m just like, ‘how is that still happening when we do have increased people monitoring?’” said one student.
