Tensions flare as Tennessee passes bill allowing teachers to carry guns

On Tuesday, Tennessee House Republicans passed a bill allowing some public school teachers and staff to carry concealed handguns. The bill would also block other teachers and parents from knowing who is armed, reports CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

Tensions flared at the statehouse, with protesters chanting "blood on your hands" to lawmakers supporting the bill.

The Republican measure will be sent to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, who may sign it into law.
