a 9-year-old fourth grader, heard the shots.

"I saw policemen -- lots of policemen in the hallway with guns," she said. "The police took us out of the school. We were told to hold each others' hands and to close our eyes. We opened our eyes when we were outside."

That is the safest thing to do. You want the kids running around screaming? They need to be huddled together. That is what they are taught.
yes ... absolutely kids running make harder targets to hit. they should be running away. they were told first to huddle in the corner, then all move into the office. both making kids a larger/easier target. concentrating kids to one spot cannot help but increase odds of more kids getting hit.

in this case they were in the gym with access to outside doors. when police arrived they told kids to run outside.

in an interview with a child that just came out ..... she said teachers told them to all to huddle into a corner and they did.
first thing I though was ... what a stupid thing to do!!!

When I was a teacher, that was the standard procedure for a mwg drill. I taught high school.

There are a few school districts in TX that do allow faculty to carry with a CCL, permission from the district, and some additional training that applies to their specific campus and how one would react depending on where the perp was located. I'm all for it.

Today is not the day for government conspiracies, talk of gun bans, or other talk.

Start a thread tomorrow but leave this day to mourn the kids
