Thought I'd share this.
My friend has a daughter in the 7th grade that attends a 'choice' school here in town. Basically it's a private/public thing where only the better achievers can attend.
Today they had an Intruder Drill. An announcement was made on the PA, and all kids in each classroom were instructed to get into a corner away from view of a window/door and be quiet as a mouse, even to the point of stifling sneezes. The door was also locked. My friend (who was there at the time) said all the kids were eerily silent and it took about 5-10 seconds for the kids to take their place.
The theory is some jackass with a gun would walk around looking for kids to shoot, checking classrooms and hallways. If it were a live call, a code would go out instead of Intruder over the PA...ie Code One, etc.
Things are getting scary.
