Sights & Sounds from Campus Safety Conference East 2019

Keynoter and school counselor Molly Hudgens poses for a picture with Chris Gilmore of the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security’s Tennessee Highway Safety Office.

On September 28, 2016, Hudgens and then-school resource officer Gilmore were at Sycamore Middle School in Pleasant View, Tennesee, when a student came to school with a loaded gun and ammo.

Hudgens was able to convince the student to hand over the gun and Gilmore arrested him.
