Reply #6: We had a lockdown at school (elementary) [View All]

[HockeyMom]

when an armed criminal came onto the grounds after robbing a bank. Nobody knew what it was, but we went through procedure of locking all the doors (metal) and bringing down the metal hurricane shutters. We turned off the lights and had all the kids sit on the floor against walls away from the windows. This was the procedure for hurricanes and tornadoes. We had no idea what was happening. Do you people think we should have gotten out guns and drawn them, as a PRECAUTION for ANY emergency?

You are all OUT OF YOUR MINDS. If nothing else, that would have TERRIFIED the pre schoolers in the room. It was enough to keep telling them it was just a DRILL, which we ourselves thought until it lasted so long.
