    In the US it seems like schools go on lockdown for up to hours even for the most minor stuff. This included. Seems like the people doing most legitimate "harm" to America's youth are the people keeping them in near constant fear because they lack even the most modest common sense and sense of proportionality.

      I would prefer the lockdown to not. The incident (since revealed as a hoax) was about three miles away. Best if the kids are inside in a controlled environment, away from police and escaping bad guys. No one knew it was a hoax until much later. Also my kid's school had a fatal shooting last year. On balance I, as a parent (and I'm nowhere near a helicopter parent), think the best option out of no good options is to be safe, controlled and cautious. They were released from lockdown (actually, just everyone inside and otherwise normal school ops and schedule) after about an hour.
