[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4002562, member: 7900"] Some credit goes to the woman that was the head of the Covenant school. This article speaks of the school's training for an active shooter, even to the point of one woman (teacher or other employee) that met the police outside with specific information to give them. [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/us/nashville-covenant-school-headmaster-hailed-hero-wake-shooting-she-protected-children']FOX News - Nashville Covenant School Headmaster Hailed as Hero[/URL] "[B]EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: [/B]Katherine Koonce, the head of school at the Covenant School who was shot and killed on Monday, went to great lengths to prepare her students and staff for active-shooter situations and immediately took action when a former student opened fire. Nashville City Councilman Russ Pulley said that Koonce was in the middle of a virtual meeting when the shooting started around 10:13 a.m. "It is my understanding from a witness at the school that Katherine Koonce was on a Zoom call when she heard the first shot. She immediately ended the call, got up and headed straight for the shooter," Pulley, a former [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/topics/fbi']FBI special agent[/URL], told Fox News Digital on Tuesday, noting that he did not have details about the confrontation that ensued after that. "She did what principals and headmasters do; she protected her children," Pulley said. "In addition, she prepared the school by seeking advanced-level active-shooter training, and from witnesses at the scene, this protocol – details of which I cannot provide – saved countless lives." Nashville Police Chief John Drake said at a press conference on Tuesday that he couldn't confirm exactly what Koonce did but that she was found in a hallway by herself. "There was a confrontation, I’m sure – you can tell the way she was lying in the hallway," Drake said. As soon as police officer Rex Engelbert arrived [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/education']at the school[/URL], an unnamed school employee met him outside. "The kids are all locked down, but we have two kids that we don’t know where they are," the employee can be heard saying on body-camera footage as she fills officers in on the layout of the building. [ATTACH type="full" width="352px"]362430[/ATTACH] Engelbert, armed with information from the teacher and a rifle, led a group of officers into the school and quickly started clearing classrooms. Minutes after entering, the shooter opened fire on other responding officers from the second floor. The officers ran upstairs toward the sounds of the gunfire and took out the shooter, who was armed with two rifles and a handgun." There are more details in the story at the link. The staff was even prepared with knowing what to do in getting the children to another location to link them up with their parents. [/QUOTE]
