Students nervously return to school after shooting

Students nervously return to school after shooting,  Richard Cantlupe is bracing himself for his students' return to class.

The American history teacher at Westglades Middle School in Parkland, Fla., has been wrestling with how best to quell their fears when he sees them again Monday, just days after the Connecticut school shooting that left 20 children dead.

School administrators have pledged to add police patrols, review security plans and make guidance counselors available.
