NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Shaking vio-
lently between sobs, parent Sarah
Shoop Neumann could only manage
a whisper as state troopers escorted
her out of a Tennessee legislative hear-
ing where she was waiting to testify
against a bill that would let teachers
carry guns. “I was supposed to speak.
I was supposed to testify,” said Neu-
mann, whose son still attends an el-
ementary school where six people
— including three 9-year-old children
— were fatally shot this year.
Moments earlier, a Republican sub-
committee chairman ordered law
enforcement to clear the public out
of the room after the crowd erupted
into applause and others defied a new
ban on holding signs during commit-
tee proceedings. Laura Seay holds a sign over the House floor during a special session of the state legislature on public safety Thursday,
Aug. 24, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn.
