SARASOTA - The foiled attack at UCF is once again highlighting the need for student safety. Here on the Suncoast, local colleges aren't taking any chances and the students themselves are at the root of that prevention.

"Every time you hear about something like this you can't help but worry about could this happen here, " said Mcalister Grant a 1st year student at New College of Florida. He's talking about the plans a University of Central Florida student had to wage a mass attack at the school.
