In response to a tragic shooting incident that resulted in the death of a toddler in Clewiston, police have initiated a program to distribute gun locks to the community. This action comes amid growing concerns about gun safety and access, particularly highlighted by a recent school shooting involving 19-year-old Orlando Harris. The Harris family had previously urged law enforcement to confiscate their son's AR-15-style rifle, ammunition, and bullet-proof vest, but officers reportedly had limited options to act on these requests. The situation underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement in restricting access to firearms, especially when there are indicators that a potential threat exists.
