(I’m not a US citizen; I believe guns should be controlled and there’s no reason for a citizen to own a gun)
Don’t US school run shooter exercises? Darwin, even here in the UK where I live, the secondary school (12-16) ran twice yearly active shooter exercises - although they called them something else, like “lockdown exercise” and we’ve only ever had one school shooting (1996).
My point being that surely any exercise would train the whole response system, including pepper spray drones (still can’t quite believe I’m typing this - anything to avoid actual gun control, I guess)?
