The CBS Evening News (3/19, story 2, 2:30, Schieffer) reported, "After the massacre on the Virginia Tech campus in 2007, the Los Angeles Police Department embarked on a program to try to identify students who might pose a threat to their classmates and to deal with them before they act." The piece notes that the School Threat Assessment Response team acts on referrals from area educators, and interviews students to determine their threat level and to provide assistance when needed. Officials "believe this program has prevented attacks here in Los Angeles. They say their other goal is to help students stay in school and graduate."
