Disagree on that one. It is on the same line as the current rumors (sex). | |||

| Just because something is legal to do doesn't mean it is the smart thing to do. |
On a different note, why were local schools put on lock down? Shooting happened in court house with shooter immediately surrendering. Schools shouldn't have been affected. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

| Do---or do not. There is no try. |
Very small town, very small county. Not surprised they’d lock down the schools. Somebody from an adjoining or close-by building may have heard the shots and might not have had any idea this was going to be an isolated shooting. | |||

Still no reason to lock down the school, the threat was over. A minor point in the overall issue, I know. | |||

Initial reports of incidents, especially shootings, are often confusing, inaccurate, and rapidly changing. It takes time for the situation to be understood and accurate information to be relayed. Especially if you're relying on the news media for your information. School gets a report that "there's a shooting at the courthouse" - probably from a news popup alert on some of the teachers' cell phones - and they go on lockdown until further information is available, because they don't know whether the shooting is still ongoing, whether the shooter is still at large, whether there was more than one shooter, etc. | |||

But is is all so obvious that it was all over as we sit here Monday Morning Quarterbacking. Oh, you mean the folks making decisions in real-time didn’t have all the information that we have now and chose to act conservatively to protect the kids? Alright, I guess that is okay.  | |||

No, clearly they're all idiots and should have just consulted their standard-issue crystal balls. | |||

I don't see a problem with students remaining in their classrooms and the doors being locked when there is a report of an active shooter nearby. Unlike a fire drill, a lockdown is barely a disruption to the normal school day.This message has been edited. Last edited by: trapper189, | |||

Right. There are varying levels of lockdown. On the lowest end, it's simply that the campus exterior access is locked (which should be the norm anyway) and nobody leaves the building(s) for the time being, but otherwise business continues as usual. This doesn't mean the students are barricading classroom doors and cowering in closets anytime there's even a report of a gunshot anywhere in town. | |||

OK, I didn't consider that the lockdown might have been self-imposed. It makes sense in that case. I'd figured it was ordered by the local LE. | |||

safe & sound |
That's usually how it is in our schools and it happens on occasion for a variety of reasons. A police chase in the area or even suspicious persons loitering nearby will trigger one. They are temporary and rescinded once a perceived threat has been figured out. | |||

It’s been explained, but it’s important to know that more than once have lockdowns prevented active killers from gaining access to schools—unless, as has happened in at least one incident, a staff member propped open a door that should have normally been locked. And in even more incidents the perpetrator killed or at least fired at other people before reaching his main target location. Ordering a lockdown, or as was probably the case in this incident, a lockout in the absence of full information about a situation is a prudent measure that has minimal effect on the school, but could prevent a major tragedy. ► 6.4/93.6 ___________ “We are Americans ….

Good lord. So many conclusions I want to jump to. Will be good to hear the facts fully when/if confirmed. | |||

Last week or so has been something. The I-75 shooter, Russell County Deputy shot and killed, and this. Kentucky has been in the news a lot lately. | |||
