    Yes. I went through them rather often when I was young. They were labeled “intruder drills”, but the idea was to try to survive a firearm-induced massacre.

    Lock the doors, stay away from windows. Hold your coughs, your sneezes. Stay out of sight, under something if possible. Crouch like you would during an earthquake.

      For when I was in it, they also explained how to attack someone in a way to disable them. Some of the teacher had baseball bats that they explained were for hiding behind the door with in case of a shooter.

        I would also add that everywhere I’ve worked has shooter training as well.

        I’ve worked in many different healthcare facilities, a pharmacy, and now in retail. All have had mandated shooter training.

        Healthy society.
