Preparing for school attacks

摘要

For those who thought school attacks were a thing of the past, the recent active shooter incident in Montreal, Canada and disrupted attack in Green Bay, Wisconsin signaled a loud wake-up call. Just a few days later, hostages were taken in a school in Bailey, Colorado with tragic results and a principle was killed by a student in a Sauk County, Wisconsin high school. As of this printing, a student in Las Vegas, Nevada took a gun to school, but was deterred prior to any violence and Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania was the site of the murder and shooting of several young Amish school girls. The Bailey, Colorado incident was horribly ironic in that a SWAT team from neighboring Jefferson County (the agency in charge of the Columbine response) was called upon to make the hostage rescue.
