Very sad. Courthouses have metal detectors, maybe City Hall should too? Don't forget, Peoria had a council member attacked fairly recently. Plus, who hasn't been at least a little concerned for their safety when someone very unhappy and unbalanced has started shouting at the podium during Citizen's Call to address the council.

Police can only react, but metal detectors can prevent. News reports say this particular guy had numerous run ins with the Zoning Commission over keeping inappropriate supplies on his residential property. Scary stuff. Very sad.
