Q: Are schools safe? TV station: Let's get one locked down and find out

I haven't asked you either question previously, and you haven't addressed either in any of your posts on this thread.

As best I can tell, you think the reporter and the station are entirely to blame for the situation.

I'm curious to know if you think the school did anything wrong in their handling of the situation. (It's pretty obvious that their security itself was lacking.)

 

NYT takes a look at this incident and a couple of others:

Pretty poor summary of the suburban St. Louis incident:

The reporter didn't arouse the suspicion of school staff. Only after he left, and they discovered he was a reporter when they called the phone number he left with them, did they become nervous that they were going to look bad on that evening's newscast.

 

Did you even read the story you linked? I ask because of a portion from that story:

Between the various stories, the question seems to be how soon the school actually went into lockdown. The earlier stories mentioned an hour passing; this latest mentions "soon afterward."
