Trump-inspired bill would require House active shooter training

Driving the news: Rep. Anthony D'Esposito (R-N.Y.), a former police officer, introduced legislation "requiring each full-time employee of the House of Representatives to complete active shooter training during each Congress."

• The bill would require the House Administration Committee to issue regulations for the training within 60 days of the bill passing.
• The training would also be available to House members and officers. Part-time employees, interns and fellows would not be required to participate.

What they're saying: "The assassination attempt on President Trump as well as the recent bomb threat called into my district office are just two examples of the startling rise of violence in the political arena," D'Esposito said in a statement.

• "It is vital that Congress take all necessary precautions to ensure personnel safety during this period of heightened tensions."
• D'Esposito said his bill will "enhance the overall preparedness of the institution as we simultaneously reiterate our commitment to settling our differences of opinion on the debate stage, and never through violence."
