Conor McGregor calls for ALL American schools to have armed guards after Nashville shooting
Conor McGregor reveals he pays for ARMED protection for his own kids at his US school… while calling for ALL US schools to have similar guards in the aftermath of Nashville shooting
UFC superstar Conor McGregor has called on the US government to employ armed guards at all schools in the US following this week’s horrific shooting in Nashville.
Three children and three adults were killed by a transgender shooter at The Covenant School in Tennessee on Monday, who was armed with two assault rifles and a handgun.
Three of the victims, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, were nine years old.
In the aftermath of the heinous crime, McGregor took to Twitter in a series of now-deleted messages, urging the US government to make armed guards a permanent fixture in all schools across the United States.
‘I just got an “amber alert” on my phone while here in Orlando. A smart and fast setup that alerts everyone about a missing child and also with a complete and detailed description. Very smart. I would also like to see armed protection in every school.’
Conor McGregor has revealed that he pays for an armed guard at his children’s school in the US.
On Monday, a transgender shooter killed three children and three adults in Nashville.

He then went on to reveal that he personally pays for his own children’s armed protection at their US school, with the UFC star regularly residing in the United States.
“If she shot her way into that school from the outside, my guard, who is hidden, armed and invisible, would have seen her and shot her down,” he added.
Save the lives of those children. May God and his best people on this earth protect our children!’
Nashville shooter Audrey Hale fired through a locked glass door at 10:13 a.m. Monday.
The 28-year-old transgender individual, who was a former student at the school, was shot and killed after firing at officers responding to the incident.
Police are investigating possible motives for the attack.
Flowers lay outside the entrance to the school, where six people were killed earlier this week.

MNPD Police Chief John Drake said “resentment” at having to go to school may have played a role in the shooting, but also that Hale “targeted random students at the school … bullets fired.”
Drake added that officials believe “that [Hale] he identifies as trans, but we’re still in the initial investigation into all of that and whether he actually played a role in this incident.
In addition to the three nine-year-old children, the 60-year-old Director of the School, a custodian and a substitute teacher, both 61-years-old, were also murdered.
They were later named as Cynthia Peak, Katherine Koonce, and Mike Hill.
