The police presence was noticed by students, and parents.
"It's a lot of police here, I'm kind of scared but, It's cool, we all fine." Said Olivia Andrea, a former Hoover student.
Parent Andrea O'Bannon also noticed the increased number of officers. "I'm not concerned about the safety, there's lots of police here and lots of security so I wasn't concerned at all. But it was on my mind when I seen the police officers." She said.
Over at Bullard High, where the shooting incident actually took place, the Bullard Knights were playing the Bronco's from Clovis West. There was only one officer on duty. Lt. Vasquez was asked if police chose to cover the Edison game because they believe the shooting was somehow connected to Edison High. "You know, I don't really know what the connection is I just know it's a game and that we've assigned some officers out here to make sure the parking lots are safe and the community is safe tonight." Vasquez said.
After last week's shooting a Fresno Unified spokesperson said the district was reviewing its security policies, and discussing the possibility of extra measures like metal detectors, which are already utilized at high school football games.
