Database tracks all U.S. school shootings

The Washington Post has spent years compiling a database of all known U.S. school shootings since Columbine in 1999, and found that more than 311,000 children have been exposed to gun violence in school. John Woodrow Cox, one of the reporters who worked to gather that data and the author of "Children Under Fire: An American Crisis," joined Tanya Rivero to discuss the findings and why the federal government does not track school shootings.

What are school resource officers?

Authorities in Uvalde, Texas, said the gunman in Tuesday's deadly shooting encountered a school district security officer outside Robb Elementary before storming the building and killing 21 people. According to local officials, no gunfire was exchanged in that initial confrontation. Mo Canady, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, joined CBS News to discuss the role of such officers during a crisis situation and what more can be done to protect students.
