Lockdowns, threat assessments and other preparations could not prevent the Saugus High School shooting
That was the point of the school safety plan, lockdown drills and gunshot wound tutorials the 26-year-old choir teacher and other staff at the Santa Clarita school had become familiar with over time. "Because I had the training, my instincts were good," said Holt, a teacher since January."If I hadn't had that training, I don't know that I would have walked myself through what I truly had done in that situation. It probably made a big difference."And not.
No one leaves! No one enters!""We never called them active shooter drills," Holt said."At teacher training, maybe we did active shooter training but with the kids, it was just lockdown. Kids would just run to the classroom. You closed the door. You locked it. You turned off the lights. I'm a new teacher so I only had one time that I practiced that. I think they do it every semester.
