re: If your kid called you from school and said there was an active shooter?

And so what are you going to do when the first shooter is the decoy while a second or third or more shooters are outside the building waiting on people to evacuate and then mow them down.

This sounds like a very bad scenario. The best way to fight an active shooter and neutralize a threat would be to barricade yourself in the room with weapons capable of defense and wait it out in the same room. If a threat comes to your classroom you neutralize it and wait until outside is a secure as well.

My high school had several bomb treats throughout my four years. We always evacuated to the football field. If they really wanted to kill people they would’ve called in a dummy threat and planted a bomb on the football field. Or had people waiting with guns in this moment.

I believe and will forever believe that teachers are the only ones that should know the plans of drills and in the event that an alarm goes off the teacher instructs the students what to do. If students don’t know what to do while an alarm goes off they can never plan or prepare to carry out an ambush.
