One potential problem with Lockdown drills
If, as in the case with Columbine, the shooters are students of the school, they will know full well exactly where all the 'targets' are crouched. As Box O' Truth has demonstrated, sheetrock walls are not good bullet-stoppers.
That being said, if I was an HS student and heard shooting, I would prefer a locked classroom to the outdoors.
As others have said, there is no one solution for all potential problems. Lockdown appears to solve the most problems and eliminate the most variables.
