The nation was shocked on Valentine’s Day by a mass shooting at a Florida School with 17 confirmed deaths. The apprehended suspect has admitted to the killings. As the incident gains traction in the media, schools are reexamining their policies for dealing with these kinds of threats.
Captain Don Eggleston with the Waverly Police Department says they cannot reveal their active shooter protocol, but they can say to what extent they have prepared for such an emergency:
Iowa lawmakers want to make sure schools in Iowa have a plan if an active shooter came on campus. Ironically, Wednesday morning, the Senate Education Subcommittee unanimously approved the bill just hours before the deadly shooting in Florida.
