[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is APS response coordinated by the police though? Because if that’s the case it really is contingent in the police to provide direction. Have they ever done an active shooter drill - not the students but the police and the admin at schools?[/quote]

Williamsburg was notified of some kind of risk/threat, because they came outside shortly after 2:45 (the same time Discovery got the call to lock down) to end after-school intramural sports that were happening outside.  Kids who were not part of official WMS after-school activities were told to leave the premises and apparently were not given the option of returning to the building until it was deemed safe.  Despite feeling that there was a need to clear the outdoor areas, WMS apparently did nothing to secure the safety of people still inside then building.  This would tend to indicate they believed whatever threat might exist was outside the building, in which case it is inexcusable not to ensure the safety of students who were outside on school grounds at the time.[/quote]

More likely, since school was over, they implemented shelter mode, which is different from shelter in place. Shoo anyone outside off the property, no one in or out until the all clear.[/quote]

DP.  I have never heard of this distinction and cannot find any information about it on the APS website.  Can you provide a source with more information about this?[/quote]
