My two daughters had a lockdown practice at school yesterday. After the signal was given, all classroom doors were shut and locked and the kids had to get under their desks. Anyone in the hallway when the signal was given had to go into one of the bathrooms, into a stall and shut the door and crouch on the toilet. They even had a teacher who was supposed to be a "shooter" walk around and check doors, etc.

I am glad they are preparing for such a scenario, but it just makes me so sad to think our society has come to the point where such things are necessary.
