School Security Tech Faces Scrutiny Amid Rising Violence and Mixed Results
On Halloween 2022, just weeks into the school year, senior Ehni Ler Htoo was walking the halls of Proctor High School in Utica, New York, when a fellow student suddenly attacked him from behind with a 9-inch hunting knife. Despite suffering deep wounds to his shoulder, neck, and hands, Htoo managed to wrestle the knife away. Police reported significant blood loss at the scene. Reflecting on the attack, Htoo told ABC News, “All I know is my life was at risk, and I had nothing to do but fight for it. I feel like I could have died during that situation.”
