[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, there was security and police present every day at this school in Florida, including on Wednesday. It didn't do squat.[/quote]

Why not? That's the question I'm asking. What went wrong? Was the officer shot dead?[/quote]

This happened as the school day was letting out. Remember that this shooter had gone to the school and would well know any security weakness.

My son's high school is locked down. One way in. But in the one or two minutes before school lets out, the doors are unlocked. The high school after school is open for clubs, athletic activities, etc.

I have a good friend whose son graduated from this school a few years ago. You have to show a DL to get in, she said, and they scan it and give you an ID.

[b]All entrances at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are locked during the school day. They reopen when students leave[/b] and that's when police say the suspected gunman set off a fire alarm and opened fire.

School drills are common nationwide to prepare for active shooter situations. Teachers at Stoneman Douglas received training on what to do in the event of such an emergency. But while some students report going through an active shooter drill at the school, others received less training.

"We did have meetings with our teachers about where we need to go, what we should do in these situations but we never had an active shooter drill," said Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg.

A lockdown was effective in keeping a shooter out of a California school last year because officials had advance notice he was approaching. The same plan in Florida Wednesday turned chaotic because there was no such notice and the accused shooter set off a fire alarm, sending students rushing out of their classrooms when the gunman was already on campus.[/quote]
