Our daughter studied Hebrew at a Jewish Community Center not long after a gunman shot grandmothers and children in a JCC in San Fernando Valley. I'm an Army Vet. We discussed what to do with an active shooter. I knew every exit and window in that building. No one should have to plan for that.
I am so sorry- it’s not ok that our children have to go through this and we as parents have to worry that this is happening. This was just a classroom sweep. I can’t even imagine if it were an active shooting. My heart was in my throat just watching it.
As a teacher, I am trained to make it a point to locate every possible exit in a place. It’s sad as a teacher that I need to know how to handle 25 children in that situation.
It’s so heartbreaking 💔 I can’t imagine but this video was just a tiny peek into what you deal with. I had no idea it would provoke such a reaction from people but it makes me think we need to see more of this to understand what is happening to our kids.
Fortunately the majority of teachers know how to distract them and keep them somewhat calm. I have researched any possible way to keep my class safe and preventing an intruder from getting into my classroom.

We need to document what’s happening. For that, we need to do our best to prove when and where everything happened. Who filmed it?
