Tina Fowles, who was at the school to pick up her brother, expressed her concern and talked about a man who was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop, which also happened near Miami Northwestern.
"So it's very, very concerning," she said. "Especially, you want to send your children someplace and hope they're safe, whether it's during school or after school hours because they have a lot of kids out here practicing football and track and cheerleading and band."
