Girl's last text inspires school safety changes

One man who is all too familiar with the tragedy in Newtown Connecticut is John Michael Keyes. His daughter Emily was killed in a shooting at Platte Canyon High School in Colorado in 2006.

Keyes started a foundation called "I luv u guys" (that was the last text he received from his daughter) and now speaks across the country about school safety protocols.
