Following the Texas school shooting that killed 19 children and two adults, schools are taking a closer look at how they are preparing for active shooter situations.
On Tuesday afternoon, a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and possibly a rifle, Gov. Greg Abbott said.
“It’s a brutal reality and a brutal truth,” Cleveland State University Police Officer Toni Jones said. “Seconds are bullets and bullets are bodies.” “We’ve learned from this,” Jones said. “It’s giving us a chance. We’re not standing there saying, ‘what do you want me to do?’ Kids are no longer huddling in a corner and hiding. They're taking action, they’re evacuating.”
But even as training like this is inevitably needed going forward, school experts told News 5 just as important is making sure preparing isn’t doing its own kind of damage.
