MIAMI (WSVN) - Students learned an important lesson in gun safety from Miami-Dade Schools’ top cop.
Miami-Dade’s Schools Police Chief Ian Moffett held a gun awareness event at Orchard Villa Elementary School in Miami, Thursday.

Organizers said these are lessons that can save lives. “They’re not toys; they’re weapons,” said Miami-Dade School Board member Dr. Dorothy Bendross-Mindingall. “They can hurt, they can harm, they can kill, so we want to put them on the right track to know guns are dangerous.”
Thursday’s event was the start of a gun safety campaign that will visit a number of Miami-Dade elementary schools this year.
