A California city is considering enforcing armed security among their schools following the tragic Uvalde shooting in Texas that killed more than a dozen of children and two teachers.

As reported by SMDP, the City of Malibu citied its "large, difficult-to-secure exurban campuses and slow law enforcement response times" as the reason behind heightening the security in its four public school campuses for the first time.

According to Fox News, the schools that fall within the Santa Monica-Malibu School District (SMMUSD), specifically Malibu Elementary, Webster Elementary, and Malibu's Middle and High Schools, are considering the said move in the aftermath of the tragedy.

Despite the plans of the California city to enforce the said program, the estimate of its cost was still unclear. However, Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Silverstein noted that the citizens should demand the school district fund the said program.

"Demand it, not just request them and take their answer, 'No' - demand it, and if necessary, consider legal action to require it because it is their responsibility to keep our school students safe," Silverstein noted.

Meanwhile, the school district said in a statement to a local newspaper that they support the plan, but the program would be initially covered by the city.

The said schools located in Malibu are served by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

In a Tuesday statement, SMMUSD Superintendent Ben Drati said they are thrilled to collaborate with the LASD to enhance the security and responsiveness around Malibu schools.

"We appreciate this joint effort to improve patrolling, response time, and intervention in emergencies or threats to our campuses and thank Malibu City Council for the initial funding for this pilot," Drati added.

Also on Wednesday, the grandmother of the Texas shooter, Salvador Ramos, which he shot before firing in Uvalde's Robb Elementary School, got out of the hospital.

The grandmother, identified as 66-year-old Celia Gonzales, got out of the healthcare facility in San Antonio a month after she was shot by Ramos, Reuters reported.

It can be recalled that the grandmother was shot by her grandson in her face in their home. Ramos' grandfather previously shared that his wife had a bullet pierce her jaw and upper cheek. He added that his wife needed a "significant reconstructive surgery."
