A mom has prepped her five-year-old for school by running active shooter drills with him at home and is sending him to lessons with a bulletproof backpack.

Cassie Walton, 23, taught Weston, five, what to do if there was a threat at his school after a gunman killed 19 children at Uvalde Elementary School, Texas, just 500 miles from their home in McAllister, Oklahoma. The mom-of-two turns off the lights and gets Weston to go into the corner and hide, putting his bulletproof backpack in front of his face to shield his tiny body.
