"I love Oklahoma City and the people here," said Westbrook. 

John Hunt of Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge says he knows storm shelters or safe rooms could cost more than a million dollars for each school. 

"Certainly I know that. But we have to protect these kids. We can't wait on the legislature to do it," he said. "One of my friends said 'What if you only put it in one school?' I said, ‘Well how many shelters have you put in schools, you know?"'
