This is scary... kids are impressionable, and having drills like this may actually backfire and romanticize the idea of becoming the shooter for a number of kids who already could be prone to doing that. When we had fire drills I'd often imagine pulling the red lever walking back into the school... to trigger another... not the same thing, and I never thought of starting a fire -- but I also often kind of hoped that one of these drills would be the real thing so we wouldn't have to go back into school.
