Just perused the news feeds; found THIS on NBC news:

“Around 7:37 a.m. local time, authorities were alerted to an active shooter situation at the high school, he said. An officer first arrived within seven minutes and found multiple gunshot victims.”

SEVEN MINUTES for cops to arrive??? Is this true? Thank GOD more weren’t injured or killed. I’m hoping this is inaccurate, but if not, something MUST be done!

When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.

Do they have ‘Resource Officers’ in Iowa?............

I was thinking the opposite. Seven minutes is pretty quick unless the cop shop is right next door. The school where I taught and still sub at is looking at maybe 15 minutes for cops to arrive unless one just happens to be in the neighborhood.

That said, a deputy sheriff has been a resource officer for the last three years or so. Sandy Hook changed a lot at my quiet, rural school

IF I NEED A DEPUTY-—I would be happy if one got here in less than 20 minutes.
