"During active shooter drill, four teachers at a time were taken into a room, told to crouch down and were shot execution style with some sort of projectiles - resulting in injuries to the extent that welts appeared, and blood was drawn. ... The Indiana State Teachers Association is lobbying lawmakers to add language prohibiting teachers from being shot with any sort of ammunition to a school safety bill working its way through the Statehouse."
I feel like existing laws should cover this. If they need a new law so specific to this situation, I'd worry there's nothing covering many other situations.
Can they press charges for assault? That'd send a clear message.

- lilbobbytables 8y agoTaking it back about a million steps, did they know this was a drill? Having anyone think they're being executed is insane trauma. And if they did know, what is the point of shooting them with pellets?
- dragonwriter 8y agoI'm pretty sure existing criminal and civil laws in most jurisdictions adequately address shooting people with projectiles without consent and outside of reasonable self defense, or conspiring with, soliciting, or procuring others to do so, whether or not in the context of an employment relationship. And if they don't in Indiana, then a limited fix for teachers isn't the solution needed.
- mnm1 8y agoThe cops will probably claim they felt in danger for their lives in this drill and the prosecutor will refuse to bring charges. Just another day at the office for these scumbags.
