FL - School conducts active shooter drill - panic ensues

Post by Bruenor »

So you didn't tell the students and parents about it, then want to punish a student for warning others ? I don't understand....

Police have released frantic 911 calls from students and parents at a Florida high school where an active-shooter drill was conducted earlier this month without warning it was just an exercise.
Panic was caused when a Lake Brantley student shared a screenshot of an alert that some teachers received during the drill, warning of an active shooter on campus.
The text message alert read: 'Active Shooter reported at Brantley/ Building 1/ Building 2 and other buildings by B Shafer at 10:21:45. Initiate a Code Red Lockdown.'
Principal Trent Daniel sent out an email that said administrators believe a student is responsible for the 'campus disruption caused by a social media post.'

Daniel said that a second incident 'started in the cafeteria' when the post was 'disseminated to other students and parents.'

Daniel added the incident is being investigated as a 'disciplinary matter and all responsible parties will be disciplined.'

Every school administrator involved needs to face charges for inducing panic and be held financially responsible for any injuries.

Hold a drill like this, fail to notify all involved that it is just a drill, and then want to punish my child for their reaction?!?! I don't think so.

[sarc/]Oh, but WY, you don't understand military drills, we have to punish the innocents for their insolence to teach them to comply before during and after our presence is known. This is the whole point, is to gauge how much "training" is still needed before the event goes live.[/sarc]

How much training does it take to stand outside the school until the shooting stops?

Stand outside the school until the shooting stops? Oh no. That will never do. All potential victims must exit the school with their hands raised, be rounded up and properly frisked. Then eventually transported to a designated release site. It's all part of the drill.


(sarc. off)

I really do understand the tactic of total control of the incident, (assume EVERYBODY is OUR enemy). I think that tactic is flawed and training should include the possibility that THE first responder may well be one of the intended victims.

I think he might've been referring to an SRO or a first responder instead of the potential victims. (Parkland) At least that's the feeling I got when I read it.
