I'm not critising. You do the best you can. I'm just wondering if we need to have a different plan in the future though. How could they have done things differently? This probably never was even considered a possibility.

The thing that's hard about something like this, is that it's so bizarre. You can plan for all kinds of situations, but it's the one you don't expect that will happen and throw you for a loop. OTOH, it could teach you to think quickly and give you some kind of advantage and be more creative when on the spot.

My kid's school has armed intruder drills, where they practice what they'd do if there were an armed intruder. While they were sitting in the class room talking, waiting for the drill to be over, one of my son's classmates said that he'd crawl out the window, go out to his car, get his gun from his trunk, and go after the guy. Now he could just be talking off the cuff, but in this community, where they give the kids the day before Thanksgiving off becasue it's opening day of deer season; I'm inclined to believe the kid.
