Ten months after a student killed 17 people in a shooting at Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, a panel tasked with reviewing what went wrong is releasing its findings.

The state commission investigating the Feb. 14 shooting released a draft report this week that blames the tragedy on numerous failures by school officials and the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, and suggests arming teachers as an effective way to protect students against attacks, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

“In an ideal world, we shouldn’t need anyone on campus with a gun, but that’s not the world we live in today,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, one of about 20 lawmakers, educators, politicians, and parents on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission. “One’s not enough. Two’s not enough. We need multiple people in order to protect the children.”
