In the world's most heavily-armed country, can anything actually make schools safe from gun violence? Can police prevent school shootings? And why are officers in schools to begin with?

Selected as an Editor’s Pick by Apple Podcasts, this four-part documentary series asks these big questions and acknowledges what it’s like to be a teenager in an era of school shootings.

Producer and host Emily Reeves returns to her high school in East Lansing, Michigan, where the discovery of a gun ignited intense fears of school shootings and led to a community reckoning over school safety, racial equity, and the role of police in schools.
