Some of the LEOs were evacuating the rest of the school, you know, saving lives but every single officer who waited outside that classroom for “orders” to go in should be fired and prosecuted. They had just had active shooter training two months before. And it just makes sense to storm that room and blow the perp into a million pieces. I guarandamntee you that if my kid had been in there, they couldn’t have kept me out. A MOTHER ran in and got her two out. They are worse than cowards.
The Columbine cowards set the first example.
“... They are worse than cowards.”
And now we are supposed to give up our 2nd amendment rights.
“But teachers have been instructed to shelter in place, creating sitting ducks for an active shooter. It is stupid and needs to end. “
Part of the Alice system is notifying the school where the threat is. Teachers can call the office or do an all school call if they know where the threat is. Classes far the from the threat head to the woods. (It’s a rural school).
But if the shooter is at your door, as a teacher, your job is to keep the door closed. Of course it should be locked, but a loop on a rope (dear lord not a noose!!) or even a stout belt can help keep the door closed. Every classroom door I’ve seen opens outward into the hall. If the walls are solid the teacher should be safe while holding the door closed.
The door can be barricaded with classroom furniture. The whole point is to keep the threat out of the classroom. If that fails, you don’t duck and cover but attack with anything you can get your hands on. At that point what does anyone in the room have to lose?
Yes, this classroom door had a small window.
They were. Police etc are civilians. Everybody but those in armed forces uniforms and the civilian chain of command, are, civilians.
As a retired army officer, I am not a civilian.
They keep saying that the officers withdrew after taking fire. How did the demon fire through a door and it still remain a barrier?
Who gave him the order is my question.
