[00:02:42] us.
[00:03:19] of
[00:03:27] in
[00:03:27] of
[00:03:38] of
[00:04:08] What comes to mind when
[00:04:10] in you imagine a
[00:04:15] of school? kids sitting at their
[00:04:17] desks, perhaps a teacher in front
[00:04:21] struggling to keep their attention, or a school
[00:04:25] bell ringing through the
[00:04:27] in hallways when i "I think of
[00:04:30] school, I think of chock. I still picture it in my
[00:04:34] hands, nervously trying
[00:04:36] of to solve math problem on the
[00:04:38] blackbard. Welcome
[00:04:42] to the world.
[00:04:46] My own school days are long gone, but for my
[00:04:49] daughter, they have yet to
[00:04:51] begin.
[00:04:55] of By the time she will go..."
[00:05:00] to school, I worry that she'll be confronted with more frightening
[00:05:03] things than solving math problems in front
[00:05:06] of the class. 19 children and two teachers were
[00:05:10] killed at rob elementary school in. Texas, city leaders in
[00:05:14] Uvalde are calling for privacy and compassion for the families the
[00:05:18] victims and survivors. I remember watching the news about the
[00:05:21] school shooting in Uvaldi. My daughter was two months old and
[00:05:25] sleeping in my lab, oblivious to what was happening just a couple towns
[00:05:29] away from
[00:05:30] us.
[00:05:34] Since that day I keep wondering, how can we keep her
[00:05:38] safe a world like
[00:05:40] this? This morning, flags are
[00:05:43] flying at half staff across Texas, marking one year since one the
[00:05:47] worst school shootings in American history. One year ago today, an
[00:05:51] 18-year-old gunman broke into an elementary school in Uvaldi, killing
[00:05:55] 19 children and two teachers. For many, the reminders
[00:05:58] the tragedy are everywhere, with an uptick in school shootings
[00:06:02] and the fears that come with them, lot of Texas parents are
[00:06:06] wondering how best to protect their kids while setting them up
[00:06:10] for success in the future.
[00:06:18] talking you, good afternoon, I'm looking for a daycare for my daughter, I wanted to
[00:06:21] get her some more information if that's possible, yes
[00:06:25] mam, it might be a little bit of an awkward question, but do you guys have some sort of
[00:06:29] safety plan in case of a school shooting happening?
[00:06:33] um, we're getting introduced to all this shooting stuff just
[00:06:36] now, okay, um, so we we do lockdowns,
[00:06:40] we do um, we do those kind of... drills um, but right now
[00:06:44] with active shooter we are in the process of um
[00:06:48] figuring all that stuff out. okay, it's just we never thought that we would
[00:06:52] have to be going to training for this. yeah, i'm asking because i'm i
[00:06:56] just moved here from belgium about four years ago
[00:06:59] so um and we never had a school shooting in Belgium
[00:07:01] so for me this is all new and i'm a little bit worried about it. yeah, i
[00:07:05] had been born and raised here in Austin. um and this
[00:07:09] whole yuvanda thing i think that kind of hit us home. um
[00:07:13] being so close
[00:07:14] toalde,
[00:07:18] but yes mam, um, we're hoping that never happens to us, um,
[00:07:22] and we do have locked doors and all that good stuff, um,
[00:07:25] okay, but um, a shooter plan, not
[00:07:57] welcome, julie, thank you, i am
[00:08:00] originally from venezuela, over there we deal
[00:08:04] with another type of safeness, so
[00:08:08] you go out and you know that you cannot carry your necklace, you know that you need
[00:08:12] to be paying attention of your surrounders and stuff like that, it's whole other
[00:08:16] level, but you did not have the fear to send your kid
[00:08:20] to school, i can't record going to
[00:08:24] school feeling scared of my mom talking to me,
[00:08:27] mean if he somebody comes to the school to true you, you got now where to
[00:08:31] go, so didn't grew up with that, so when zira would go
[00:08:34] to this daycare, what would like a
[00:08:38] the safety plan look like here, we are train.
[00:08:43] for lockdowns and unsafe buildings and stuff like that, but an
[00:08:46] active shooter we haven't, so that's why we wanted
[00:08:50] to get a
[00:08:51] training,
[00:09:09] and if you look at last year, look at this. in
[00:09:12] 2022, not a single week passed without at least
[00:09:16] four mass shooting events, it's crazy, just as we
[00:09:20] prepare for fires and floods and tornadoes and earthquakes,
[00:09:23] sadly we got to start thinking about this stuff too, so what
[00:09:27] we're going to talk about today is really the work of many many, i want the teachers to be the
[00:09:31] best they can be, teaching the kids the proper way and shaping those
[00:09:35] young minds, uh, i don't want them to be combat warriors, that's not fair, they
[00:09:39] didn't sign up for that, but when i saw the numbers and 'wow, less than
[00:09:43] half of early childhood programs aren't prepared for an active
[00:09:47] shooter, we got to do something about that.
[00:09:49] I don't want to minimize the impact that you all are going to have as the initial
[00:09:53] responder, because your actions, or
[00:09:56] inactions, are really going to set the stage on how this goes,
[00:10:00] so sometimes hiding might be the best choice, sometimes running might be the best
[00:10:04] choice, sometimes you're going to have no choice but to defend yourself,
[00:10:07] right? So here they are, run, hide and fight, so
[00:10:11] let's look at the run option.' Vamos
[00:10:13] Natalia.
[00:10:34] So we got everybody out in under 20 seconds, which is simply amazing,
[00:10:38] really well, what do
[00:10:38] you think? Very, very, very fast. Okay, good job, excellent, good
[00:10:42] job guys, hey Dante, that was
[00:10:46] better than Disney World for in terms of our hiding, that's
[00:10:50] another option that we want to think
[00:10:51] about. All... Objectives
[00:10:55] are to stay out of sight, do put some barricades up to make it
[00:10:59] as hard as possible to get to
[00:11:00] us, and to
[00:11:04] keep the kids as calm and as quiet as we possibly
[00:11:07] can.
[00:11:37] Now the last part the whole thing is fighting if we have
[00:11:40] to,
[00:11:47] we're really not just getting into a fair fight here, we're trying to defend and
[00:11:51] survive, but now we have to...
[00:11:55] thinking, okay, if I'm in there and I i'm tramped in there, I
[00:11:59] have other way out, what am I going to do? Well, I'm going to grab this, right?
[00:12:03] You, first thing I can find, what if somebody comes in, I can squirt him in the eyes, I can maybe hit
[00:12:06] him over the head with this, I'm going to try to find anything that I can to defend
[00:12:10] myself.
[00:12:19] I just see those teachers standing there with like tools that they
[00:12:23] find, like blocks and stuff, and I'm just... how on earth are
[00:12:27] are they going to defend themselves with somebody coming in with like a machine
[00:12:29] gun?
[00:12:34] well i think there's a couple different things that we can you know think
[00:12:37] about: pair of scissors is obviously not going to be very good weapon
[00:12:41] of choice against a machine gun, but i got to tell you if i'm pinned
[00:12:45] in room and that's
[00:12:46] the only thing i have, i'm going to make
[00:12:48] a go at it cuz i don't want it to be easy to kill me, i'm going to make it as difficult as
[00:12:52] possible for that person, maybe i can't that person down,
[00:12:56] maybe i can buy some time so that others aren't killed or injured, so that's kind of what
[00:13:00] the mentality sadly has to
[00:13:02] be,
[00:13:22] i don't know how you you do a drill with... with
[00:13:25] babies,
[00:13:29] i don't know how that works to be
[00:13:31] honest,
[00:13:36] the drill that you you guys saw, are the kids
[00:13:40] involved in in these drills? well, what we saw it was like
[00:13:44] a training for the teachers, mhm, um,
[00:13:47] and so i think the teachers have to do it with the kids a few times a
[00:13:51] year, but we didn't really see that, and i also don't think that the kids realize. it yet
[00:13:55] at that young age,
[00:13:58] keep it, keep, but I am worried about when when the kids get older, so
[00:14:02] if you put side there, when she gets older, when she starts to realize what
[00:14:06] this is about, what it's going to do to
[00:14:08] her,
[00:14:18] these sounds are clues for you to tune in and get somewhere safe,
[00:14:22] excuse me, we... will be talking
[00:14:25] about staying
[00:14:27] quiet. when we
[00:14:30] hear lockdown, locks, lights
[00:14:34] out of sight. we need to stay quiet in our hiding
[00:14:38] place. look at this picture the quiet
[00:14:41] mouth. what do you think it means to have a
[00:14:44] quiet mouth? yes,
[00:14:47] alice. it means you don't
[00:14:51] talk? very good. it even means you don't
[00:14:55] whisper. what would you do? you're not in the
[00:14:58] classroom, you're not with another teacher, but maybe
[00:15:02] you're on the way to the bathroom. you're all by yourself, and you might
[00:15:06] hear announcement that says "run hide fight", or you might hear a noise that
[00:15:10] sounds like a weapon, or maybe you see a bad guy and you're all by yourself
[00:15:14] in the hallway. okay, what would you do in that situation? if
[00:15:18] all the close our door and except one the first
[00:15:21] graders, you can go in there and that should be number one, but let's..." say
[00:15:25] that there is no way to go into another class because the
[00:15:29] doors are are shut and they're locked or there's just nobody else in
[00:15:33] here and you don't know what to do, you can hide somewhere on the playground,
[00:15:37] okay? schools are a very safe place to be, you're safe
[00:15:40] here, you did 21 laps,
[00:15:44] nice, i forced my ankle, well maybe that's why your ankle
[00:15:47] hurts, i saw
[00:15:51] how was the rest of your lunch, i'm sorry i can only stay for few
[00:15:54] minutes, all
[00:15:57] right, you guys in lego world
[00:15:59] now.
[00:16:12] every day that I walk my children to school, I say, I love you, and I
[00:16:16] watch them, and just breathe, because that's all I can
[00:16:20] do, and hope that everyone is doing their
[00:16:24] job to protect
[00:16:25] them,
[00:16:30] whether they want to or not, that this is their life, and they're
[00:16:34] having to do these active shooter drills and lockdowns.
[00:16:38] and they're playing war
[00:16:40] games, what happens during your
[00:16:43] drills? mommy doesn't know what you guys do,
[00:16:47] well for the lockdown drills um um the
[00:16:51] principal will say on the announcement, it's a lockdown
[00:16:54] drill, lock your doors and we hide
[00:16:57] behind our shelves, so but we
[00:17:01] can't do anything else, sometimes whenever we do the videos no one ever
[00:17:05] tells us, our teachers don't tell if it's a real one or
[00:17:09] just practice so i get scared sometimes to see if
[00:17:13] it's real or if it's just a
[00:17:16] drill and if we
[00:17:19] don't um get up and scooter chairs quietly and
[00:17:23] we're a lot loud we start over and do it
[00:17:27] again until we can make it good you want to show
[00:17:31] me all right say the
[00:17:34] drone so i can teachers lock your doors Teachers,
[00:17:38] lock your doors, this is
[00:17:39] lockdown,
[00:17:55] my daughter said that uh, it helps her to
[00:17:57] prepare and that makes me so
[00:18:01] sad to think that she has to prepare for
[00:18:05] such event.
[00:18:23] Hi, nice to meet you, hi, thanks for being with us, no
[00:18:26] problem, I a professor of public health in New Mexico State
[00:18:30] University, um, my research has focused on how
[00:18:34] schools are preparing and what would they do in?
[00:18:37] schools
[00:18:37] certain
[00:18:45] situations, in
[00:18:46] most your so neighborhood, my neighborhood have security
[00:18:49] cameras, backpack checks, metal detectors, lock doors,
[00:18:53] lockdown drill, preparing students for math shooting, it looks similar to the
[00:18:57] questions that you've done, this is a
[00:19:01] drill, I repeat, this is a drill, we are a level
[00:19:05] three lockdown, need you to go down, lock the
[00:19:08] door, the problem is they have not been able to stop a mass
[00:19:12] shooting, that backside, get into the closet, go on the closet, turn
[00:19:16] the light on until we get in there, the intruder is in the
[00:19:19] lives, let's go, get the
[00:19:23] chairs up there, let's go, the rest of you get in the closet, let's
[00:19:26] go, get in the
[00:19:28] closet, there is no
[00:19:31] documented evidence that we could stop a mass shooting with this
[00:19:35] kind of an approach. You're
[00:19:38] quiet. Keep your hands to
[00:19:41] yourself.
[00:19:46] That's a typical American school now. It has become a war zone.
[00:19:50] No one is asking, is this conducive to learning,
[00:19:52] education?
[00:19:57] Why are we creating this climate of fear? A
[00:20:01] palace, a fortress. No place in the world would you see this a developed
[00:20:05] nation.
[00:20:09] "there are studies to show that kids have felt vulnerable and
[00:20:13] distressed because these exposures and that's why the whole idea has
[00:20:17] become
[00:20:17] controversial,
[00:20:27] we have fire drills, lockdown,
[00:20:29] tornado, our last drill,
[00:20:33] lockdown drill uh, we did like a full thing we..."
[00:20:37] ripped apart the room, we grabbed tables and we shoved it at the
[00:20:41] door like and it active and all all the kids were
[00:20:45] scared and um i was scared because the the
[00:20:49] mic did not say lockdown drill or didn't hear it
[00:20:52] so i thought it was a real lockdown, i was trying my best to
[00:20:56] hide and it made a little scared and
[00:21:00] nervous because um didn't
[00:21:03] i didn't feel safe at school, nobody feels
[00:21:07] safe, nobody feels safe at
[00:21:10] school, it's it's never really safe, kind of
[00:21:14] it's not really safe
[00:21:15] sometimes, i think it'll
[00:21:19] probably happen in our school because
[00:21:23] people sometimes go insane and they might want
[00:21:26] to like take their anchor out on kids
[00:21:30] so they might want to come to our school and like take their anchor out
[00:21:34] on them by killing us
[00:21:36] maybe i don't i
[00:21:40] really don't like it because there's a lot of bad people in the world
[00:21:43] yeah we try not to think about thomorts
[00:21:46] or else we kind of get like uh like thinking about
[00:21:50] got it like kind of like oh school shooting is going to happen
[00:21:53] today yeah that's not something that you want to think about right yeah
[00:21:57] no
[00:22:06] wit about that okay there's no
[00:22:08] possible i think that
[00:22:12] um some the teachers should have like um a
[00:22:15] pistol or something hidden in the classroom to protect the
[00:22:19] students 'yeah, i think that too,
[00:22:22] because um, because if the person does have a gun it
[00:22:26] would be nice to have some protection like
[00:22:29] 22 rifles, 22 long rifles, at least a bb gun
[00:22:33] for our class ever for every single
[00:22:36] class, it would it would cost a little bit,
[00:22:39] but it it would be worth for the
[00:22:42] school for keeping students
[00:23:01] daughter will feel the same. When I was
[00:23:05] kid, this never crossed my
[00:23:06] mind, but I
[00:23:10] guess things were different back then, and
[00:23:14] this is
[00:23:15] America.
[00:23:31] I was a high school teacher for 20
[00:23:33] years, you started hearing of school shootings
[00:23:37] and I would think what I would do, I didn't want to
[00:23:41] um watch something happen or be victim, I wanted to be
[00:23:45] proactive. I remember coming home from school and talking to
[00:23:49] Jeff all the... time about different scenarios, what would I do if this happened,
[00:23:53] what would I do if that happened, I want to protect my kids,
[00:23:57] so we were able to collaborate together and come up with a
[00:24:00] good system that would work for teachers. The
[00:24:04] point of this is to have trained guardians, you can put signs on your school
[00:24:08] that say we have armed staff, and that's a deterrent, you're you're
[00:24:12] making the school a hard target, so somebody's not going to want to breach that, and
[00:24:16] that's the number one goal the guardian program. Number two goal would be,
[00:24:20] to actually use deadly force in the event that there's a
[00:24:22] shooter,
[00:24:29] so an important component about the school guardians is their
[00:24:32] arms,
[00:24:39] lot of people think we're just giving guns to teachers, and that's not
[00:24:42] it, so part of our training includes
[00:24:46] scenario training on the campus.
[00:24:55] so we have someone that's a bad guy, we actually put the
[00:24:59] guardian staff a shooting
[00:25:01] situation where they have to defend themselves or
[00:25:05] take out the
[00:25:06] shooter,
[00:25:10] and that's as close to realistic as we can make
[00:25:13] it, it's not just for
[00:25:16] teachers, it's for all school staff.
[00:25:23] administration, maintenance, it and stuff like that, most of those
[00:25:27] people are what we call
[00:25:28] seekers, so if there's
[00:25:31] actually a threat on campus, they would seek the threat to stop
[00:25:35] it,
[00:25:39] and then we have what we call classroom defenders like what Terry would have
[00:25:42] been, uh, we don't ever tell a teacher to leave their classroom, they need to say with
[00:25:46] their kids, so if the shooter happened to come in that room then they can defend. that
[00:25:50] classroom, so there's really two types of guardians that we look
[00:25:53] out. all
[00:25:56] right, here's your weapon, here's
[00:25:58] your sword,
[00:26:01] okay,
[00:26:02] here we go.
[00:26:16] to say that uh, the thought of this
[00:26:20] happening in my daughter's school, yeah, it
[00:26:24] scares
[00:26:26] me, it is, it's frightening, yeah, um, most of our
[00:26:31] through people pretty
[00:26:31] that that, emotional. go because
[00:26:32] it's it's on their home campus, it's their turf. do you
[00:26:36] feel like this can be traumatizing to teachers? just going through the training?
[00:26:40] uh, i think the scenario training can be to point. i don't think it's to the
[00:26:43] point where it's going to cause them problems, but i think it's going to help
[00:26:47] them face the reality of if this happens, this is what it's going to be like, and
[00:26:51] it's just it's not everybody can do
[00:26:53] this.
[00:26:58] how did it feel for you as teacher carrying again? i would
[00:27:01] say it...
[00:27:02] when did raise my level of confidence and security,
[00:27:06] and I even told my students, I
[00:27:08] um, would introduce myself and we would start the school year, I
[00:27:11] would say, I just want you to know that no matter my
[00:27:13] what happens, I will life, protect I'm
[00:27:15] you here with for you in every aspect, not just education,
[00:27:18] and um, it's just the care that you have for your students, it's
[00:27:22] natural, and by the way, they voted her best teacher the year after
[00:27:25] that.
[00:27:42] A lot of people have tendency to do this, they drop their firearm, but
[00:27:46] when you're in combat, this is combat, you're going to lean
[00:27:49] out, okay, just a little bit, you're trying not to
[00:27:53] expose the rest of your body, because this is a target area for the
[00:27:56] bad guy, I think it's interesting that you say this is combat, so and
[00:28:00] I'm talking specifically about school. Yes, you refer to it as
[00:28:04] well, it's combat training, that's what it is, lot of this training,
[00:28:08] it comes from my experience, other law enforcement officers
[00:28:12] experience, military experience, um, and
[00:28:16] it's the way it's been described, and the way we describe it, because
[00:28:19] we wanted to be bold, is combat training, you are in combat
[00:28:23] against someone who's trying to kill you, the only other place that you see a situation
[00:28:27] like this is on the battlefield in a
[00:28:29] war.
[00:28:38] new chapter in Afghanistan and even an attempt and coup are
[00:28:42] just about to overthrow an autoocrat. You've seen the
[00:28:45] news. Israel is apartide
[00:28:49] state, but the newsmakers dives deeper. We have to stop
[00:28:53] violence. We take the day's biggest story and debate the
[00:28:57] issues behind the headlines. Seating somehow, that's the whole point of
[00:29:00] negotiation. They want a stake.
[00:29:05] we bring you in-depth look at the events, conflicts and
[00:29:09] decisions that impact is all. all of you have failed, all of you
[00:29:13] have failedia and the
[00:29:16] responsibility for dealing with that falls to the United Nations security
[00:29:19] council from every corner the globe.
[00:29:23] if fighting continues, what will there be left to fight
[00:29:27] for? hundreds of thousands of not millions of people are left
[00:29:31] to start. The
[00:29:34] newsmakers on TRT
[00:29:36] World:
[00:29:41] In this world, five
[00:29:45] most
[00:30:39] 'We're not prepared for
[00:30:41] combat, do we have
[00:30:45] tools to
[00:30:47] combat
[00:30:50] event? yes,
[00:30:54] but we're not laying siege on
[00:30:56] anything, we're not going to
[00:31:00] war'. We're going to
[00:31:03] protect.
