Here we go again:
http://ktla.com/2017/04/10/multiple-gunshot-victims-at-elementary-school-in-san-bernardino-amid-report-of-active-shooter-officials-say/Man gets admitted to elementary school, where his wife was a teacher. Man goes to wife's classroom, kills her (wounding two students -- one fatally -- in the process), then kills himself. Reaction from the aw-thaw-rih-tays is predictable:
Before going to the classroom, the shooter had his ID and checked in to the school’s front office, which is the only point of entrance to the campus while classes are in session, school district Superintendent Dale Marsden said.
The elementary school does not have uniformed police officers or campus security, unlike the district’s middle and high schools, according to Garcia.
“Our middle schools have campus security and all of our high schools have uniformed police officers,” she said.
How very helpful.
Garcia explained that the district re-examined its security measures after the Dec. 2, 2015, terror attack that left 14 dead at the Inland Regional Center, which is about 7 miles south of North Park. All district principals have had lockdown training and know “exactly what to do” if there’s an active shooter report, she said.
“Especially after Dec. 2 we actually took a closer look at all of our campuses and what we can do to increase student security and campus safety. The majority of our principals have participated in lockdown training … They know exactly what to do and what they need to do to keep students safe,” Garcia said.
If the administration knows what to do to keep students safe, why is there one dead student and another in the hospital? Possibly that re-examination of security measures needs to be re-re-examined ... 'cause it didn't work very well.
And make up your mind -- have "all" the principals had lockdown training, or only a majority? And what would locking down this school have accomplished, anyway, given that the teacher was dead, two students wounded, and the killer had offed himself before the lockdown alarm could have been given anyway?
Following the shooting call, police arrived on scene within four minutes of getting the call.
Further proof (not that we needed any) that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
