ATLANTA — Black is the only color Gwinnett County student Taylor Jones wears to school.
After sitting in a closet inside her orchestra room in the pitch-black for hours during a lockdown, the senior worries that any bright colors will make her an easy target if an armed assailant were to ever get inside Brookwood High School.
Taylor, 17, doesn’t necessarily feel unsafe at school. But lingering in her mind is the fear that, one day, there could be a mass shooting by an intruder or another student.
