Data from the Minnesota Department of Education shows that the number of guns brought onto school grounds has skyrocketed since the start of the pandemic. That's what Minnesota Star Tribune reporters Mara Klecker and Jeff Hargarten found after looking at the numbers going back a quarter century. The data showed that of all the reports of guns in schools over the last 25 years, 30 percent have happened since 2020.

Klecker and Hargarten joined Minnesota Now to talk about their reporting and how schools are responding to the uptick.
