Students at Jewett Middle Academy in Winter Haven, Florida, were terrified last week when police officers burst into classrooms with guns drawn.
Was there a shooter at the school? No. The police department and school district initiated an 'active shooter' training drill with zero advance notice to teachers or parents.
Parents received text messages from frightened children as the principal ordered the school in "lock-down."
Is this really the best way way to improve school safety? Linc says no way.
