[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a shooter shoot one specific child at a high school and then go on a mass shooting spree at a junior high?

It sounds like you're suggesting they should have put all nearby schools on lockdown. I don't think that sounds reasonable under the circumstances.[/quote]

That's exactly what should happen when a gunman is at large. And that's the process that the school system says will happen in these situation.  Not just for shootings that happened at a nearby school, but for any shooting in the vicinity of a school. It's not that it's assumed they're going to target another school, but it's assumed police officers will be searching and the gunman will be hiding/ running. They want to make sure they can't run to a school and use kids to confuse the pursuit or to prevent any small chance a kid could be in a crossfire that could happen in a pursuit.  Those are not likely outcomes, but it is a precaution that school's take. [/quote]

How wide of an area? For how long?

And you seem to want to do this any time the police are looking for someone with a gun?

That really doesn't sound like a reasonable reaction.[/quote]

Julius West is extremely close to Wootton. So close that they caught the shooter right in front of it! That proves the point that they should have locked down. Moreover, kids at Julius west live in the neighborhood right behind Wootton.[/quote]
