So now there’s no lock on the school door?
No... the meeting room door. Ms. Day is the quoted eyewitness that was in the meeting room with the principal. She said that the principal left the room when the incident started. Since Ms. Day obviously survived the incident, I will speculate that the “teacher”, although wounded in the process, was successful in barricading the meeting room door with her body. (see in quote below). In the first police press conference yesterday, I believe the spokesman said that there was only one person that was wounded and survived. (that may turn out to be the “teacher” described below, or maybe not)
It’s in this article from the Wall Street Journal . . .
“Without a lock to secure the door, a teacher at the meeting pressed her body against the door to hold it shut, Ms. Day said. That teacher was shot through the door in the leg and arm. “She was our hero,” Ms. Day said.

Dozens Killed in Conn. School Shooting
OK, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Stressful day, eh?
Prayers for the families...
There was a timeline started someplace that said the school doors lock automatically at 9:30. By 9:41, the first 911 call came through.
