The teachers were instructed not to tell the others what had happened inside the room, and the sheriff's department did not warn any of the participants about what was going to happen, according to the ISTA.
"They shot all of us across our backs," the teacher, who did not wish to be identified, told the newspaper."It hurt so bad." White County Sheriff Bill Brooks told the Indy Star that his department would no longer use the airsoft gun with teachers after receiving a complaint following January's incident.Brooks said that his department had conducted similar trainings using airsoft guns with schools for several years. He described the plastic pellet as a"soft, round projectile."The sheriff's department, ALICE, and Meadowlawn Elementary School did not respond to BuzzFed News requests for comment.
At her testimony before the Senate Education and Career Development Committee on Wednesday, Zeheralis thanked lawmakers for House Bill 1004, but appealed to the Republican author of the bill, Rep. Wendy McNamara, to include a sentence in the bill prohibiting the practice of firing projectiles at teachers during active shooter drills.
Yes America, this is the solution to your gun problem. *Sigh*
I guess just outlawing the guns would be too much to consider? 🙄 Talk about fucked up.
WTF? I'd have a stroke if this happened to me; especially without warning. I would also warn all of the other teachers waiting outside the room.
Again, our schools are supporting mass shooting though cantagin. Sad.
Part of standard active shooter training... the pain will make u remember and make the training more effective. The goal is to keep those kids safe! Also, it does not hurt that bad.
Just to let you know that bullets may hurt , we will shoot you for shits and giggles
They haven’t heard of laser guns? Hell they could’ve gone to the local superstore and bought some nerfs. This is what happens when gun nuts hold safety seminars.
🤣
as long as they got to shoot something at someone! thats all that counts!
Who signed off on this 😂
