Dont know if you've heard yet about another fatal school shooting here in Colorado, guy stormed into a Bailey HS , took some girls hostage , apparently one or more of the teen girls were sexually assaulted, let all but two go, fataly shot one then killed himself. so far we have had Columbine, this incident, and a few near incidents that were caught in time. i absolutely do not support any type of gun ban. i realize that bad things happen all the time, no way to be absolutely safe, just do the best you can.
Having said that, i need some real, solid tacticle advice to give to my 9 year old with some minor learning disabilities on how best to survive a school shooting and to retreive my kintergardener and get them both to safety. in this age of frequent school shootings and possible muslim terrorist hitting a school like they did in Russia years ago i think my kids need to have a few selected plans of action that a little kid could carry out to be as safe as possible.
SIT REP:
One level school, bottom of a valley, main road in front/office/main entrance is front. school rooms are in square "blocks" that stick out of the building. lots of corners. each classroom has many windows and one door leading to the outside. the windows go low to the ground , probably only 2 feet up from the floor/ ground. there is , usually, a half full parking lot facing my kintergadener's room. 9 yo is on the other side of the building from my younger child. his class room door open into an "alcove", where three sides are taken up by other class rooms, the other opens up to the side of a steep hill that has the path to our home. at the rear of the school there is a wide open feild to the left and fenced off ball feilds to right.
i already have a few, basic thoughts for tactics that a 9-10 year old could carry out, with options as well as VERY, VERY basic directions for my 5 yo. but i need to hear from any police, swat, ESU, and other experts that have training in this type of situation. please help me save my kids from the real monsters. -Eric
