As school shootings continue to make headlines, a new line of defense has emerged: bulletproof whiteboards.

The University of Maryland Eastern Shore has already snapped up 200 of them for $299 each.

The boards are made by Hardwire, a company that has supplied the military with vehicle armor and other protective gear used in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"It's a writing tablet that doubles as a bulletproof shield," said university spokesman William Robinson.
