Eyewitness News has learned exclusively that New York City School safety agents have seized 5,931 weapons from students this year, according to the union for the safety agents.
As evidence of the rampant guns in city schools, Floyd showed Eyewitness News Investigative Reporter Kristin Thorne surveillance video of a gun falling out of the waistband of a student at Port Richmond High School on Staten Island while the student was getting a piggyback ride from another student in the hallway.
He showed three loaded guns that had been seized the week before by school safety agents. One was found in the backpack of a 13-year-old."Parents aren't only parents," he said."They are a lifeguard." Floyd said pre-COVID, the city employed 5,500 school safety agents, but that number has dropped to about 3,500."Because of attrition, and the fact that during COVID, several classes of school safety agents were postponed under the previous administration, the city started the school year with hundreds fewer agents," the NYPD said in a statement.
