ST. LOUIS — Police, fire and school officials say all their work training for active shooters saved lives this week.
Security officers at the St. Louis Public Schools campus saw a man enter the building with a rifle and called police right away. Administrators warned classrooms over the loudspeaker with a code phrase. Students and teachers locked doors, turned off lights and huddled away from windows. Police and emergency crews arrived quickly, evacuated the school and found the shooter.
The St. Louis fire chief called it the result of a “massive amount of training.”
