FAIR LAWN, N.J. — A Fair Lawn vice principal is hoping that a classroom lock inspired by a 2012 mass shooting in a Connecticut school will protect students across the country, NorthJersey.com reports.

LockAide, as he calls it, was made in less than 10 minutes by puncturing holes in a bent soda can, NorthJersey.com reports.
