every school should have a lockdown system and drill it well and they should have magnetic locks on exterior doors so there is an instant lockdown f you leave it to human error, and murphy's law will rear their ugly head every time. so certain things that schools every school should have in place. and i'm not second guessing what happened here. i'm just suggesting you can never be 100% safe. you can put as many things as you can in place and hope the system works when it happens. >> yeah, someone shows up at a school with a weapon like that, howdy fend against it. josh, i want to ask you, so the suspect is in custody. that is a rarity now. and i understand that he's cooperating with authorities so far. i assume he's going to answer some questions. how much of a difference can that make, how much more can they learn, how much difference does it make to investigators? >> wolf, it can make a huge difference. in some of these instances in the past shooter either killed by law enforcement or took his or her own life, obviously that's a situation you won't be able to interview someone and get the

and this community is not new to these type of lockdown drills. this is a community that is very aware, very educated, both the students and the parents and the teachers. in fact the teachers tell us they have been practicing lockdown drills since january. intensely. just that very morning, one of the teachers told us that they had actually gone into a lockdown drill and over the loud speaker they had said all students go to your classrooms, lock the doors. this had nothing to do with the shooting that was about to happen, but it was a very strange coincidence. >> tammy leitner and sean henry, thank you so much. freshman chris mckenna actually came face-to-face with nicholas krooiks oig a cruz oig, cruz, an eyewitness to the tragedy. >> i opened the door of the staircase, there the shooter was. opening -- or loading his gun, loading up his gun. >> what did he say? >> he said you better get out of here, things are about to get bad. so i ran out the door and told the security guard coach feis. >> and coach feis ended up dying. what are you thinking

like lockdown drill, lock your doors, we cover our windows, we have the students gather, you know, in the furthest corner of the room away from the door, make sure our windows are closed, and i mean, other than that, we have our doors to the building are locked and we have to buzz in, and your face is on -- you know, it's a video camera. but you know, other than that, it's just every day is scary. i have young kids i think about what it's going to be like when they go to school. they're 2 and 9 months. it's just terrifying, but if you let that fear take over your life, you would just be paralyzed. >> okay. that's kat, an educator in baltimore, maryland. let's hear from a viewer in greenville, south carolina. go ahead. >> good morning. thank you to c-span. to the previous caller, charlton heston was moses, george burns was god. but i like to relate a couple of stories that took place in south carolina. several years ago, there was an article. this couple took their 9-year-old little girl to a shooting range so that she could have the experience of firing a fully automatic machine gun.

such as oakland unified school district we have two lockdown drills per school per year. the lockdown would be where the students are locked in, get down on the ground wait for uniformed officers and take care of the threat. today it sounds like he was aware of that. he was an ex-student of the school. he knew about the lockdown procedures because he set off some kind of smoke bomb which caused the fire alarm to come out which naturally when there's a fire alarm the students are going to exit the classroom to exit the building and i'm sensing that was probably his motivation to set off at large to get the kids outside in the open. >> one thing before we let you go. your message to people here in the bay area to oakland. if they see something, say something. that's the underlying message? >> correct. i would say this to all parents. have a plan with your kids. you don't have to have a plan just for school. you go to the same mall and movie theater, know where the exits are. we have had mass shootings in places where there are a lot of people. i would suggest a plan with yo

are there state, local, or national requirements of schools to have active shooter drills, lockdown drills? guest: it varies from state to state and community to community. those are the things we're talking about, of course. once you have an active shooter, we want to respond in a way that saves as many lives as possible. that is a conversation for that community to come together and decide what is best for their students. one of the things we want to be careful of is make those decisions, we don't want to turn our schools into prisons and our teachers into armed prison guards and our students into prisoners. that is not the kind of learning environment where we can have the kind of access to quality discussions and resources, and the kids wilfeel free to learn d grow. host: let's hear what our viewers have to say. we will go to mike in california. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning, greta. you are the most attractive journalist on air. america.ing, i met -- who is the guest? i missed it. pringle, vice president of the national education association. caller: becky, thank yo

doesn't feel like a free country when our children huddle beneath their desks as they practice lockdown drills for mass shootings. san francisco is a beacon and has led the way on many issues. like the right to marry whomever you love. i saw that every day as the county clerk. our first amendment rights, the freedom of speech, and the right to peacefully assemble to protest should not be infringed or suppressed by the presence of guns at public events. there can be no peace when the threat of concealed weapons are present. to make matters worse, the house of representatives approved and the senate is now considering what is called the concealed carry reciprocity act. the nra number one priority bill that would allow people with out of state tt permits to carry a concealed gun if san francisco which could dramatically increase the number of people carrying concealed guns in our city. imagine the chilling effect that would have on events like the rally we had in the castro, after the pulse nightclub shooting or unite against hate rally we had in august. and most recently our women's march. not o

they'll go through the lockdown drills. but they are not running through the practical application. it's a classroom application. it's not a physical training so to speak. but this is standard training we do for the administrators and staff. we have between 80 and 100 members of the department that have gone through it. and this is a continuous training we put on all through the year. >> reporter: if an active shooter were to come on this campus, what do you tell the teachers to do? >> even though a lot of people have not gone through the training, the conversation has been in everyone's minds. they would lock the classroom door and put the shades down. and you saw the kids in the classroom. and they would stay until the police came in and took care of the threat. >> and you were talking earlier about having a civilian weaponized in the school. how dangerous that is and you have to try to disarm the civilian. >> and it's not necessarily politically correct and i'm going to get a lot of criticism. there's no reason for a civilian to own an assault weapon. there's no reason. those are

we do have drills twice a year where we do lockdown drills and practice what we'd do. the kids were asking what i would do. would you want to be armed? do you think u the teachers should be armed. one of the girls in my class said she thought there should be one adult, not necessarily a teacher, but a designated adult on each floor of each building who would be properly trained in how to deal with these situations. and i thought that was a very mature response for a high school senior to come up with. >> mature indeed. i think that's one of the things that's struck so many of us. the maturity of all of these young voices that we're hearing from. before i let you go, what are your students saying to you about this moment? they are growing up in i think this reality that for a lot of us we can't imagine practicing being on lockdown. that being a part of going to school. >> they have had varied reactions. a lot of them sometimes will kind of take the humor approach to it. this can't. happen here. there are others who are sometimes terrified to leave the classroom. it's ju

the lockdown drills are schools twice a year where the students are locked down in the classroom. the teachers secure the classroom and they stand by and wait for law enforcement to come in and handle the threat. this training is for school administrators, principals, staff, where we sit down and talk about what active shooter really means. the run hide fight principles taught federally and statewide what do you in a situation if you have a threat in your school and waiting for police. >> reporter: you were saying that this is isn't going to prevent mass shootings. there needs to be more action? >> there needs to be more action. i'm an advocate for the gun issue. it's called an assault weapon for a reason. they are manufactured to kill people and cause as much damage as humanly possible. every school shooting from the pulse nightclub to las vegas and now florida is an assault weapon and i'm advocate that if we have to take the assault weapons away from law-abiding citizens in order for people such as what happened in florida not to have them, we have to do it. there's no other opt

and we have not had our lockdown drill yet this year.think ghachange that will increase all the training and protocols so if god forbid another shooting happens, at least all the teachers will be prepared and can hopefully keep their students daum. calm. >> that is great. thank you. >> and my name is arianna. i'd like to say thank you for leading your country. you are a great laid are and i appreciate the correctidirectio the country is going in. i'm a junior at stoneman douglas. and i just want fto say this everybody right now is so stuck on what they believe that they are not even listening to what other people believe. we need to listen to other points of views. we all need to realize that we all have different points of views and that we need -- the solution is not going to be a singular thing. it will be multifaceted and it will be created by a collection of different people working together and we have to realize that we all have our opinions and together we'll be able to work to a solution. and this is not just parkland anymore. t

our kids are already doing lockdown drills. any know what code red is.on the windows. our kids are going to school and living every day in a militaristic society, basically. it's nuts! and we are talking about adding more and more to it. we need to be talking about getting the guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them and that is a lot of raising the age and just making sure that that doesn't happen. >> mr. attorney general, i know in texas there are some teachers that have guns in the school. truly, how has that worked for you thus far? aren't there parents that are nervous about that? >> well, sure. so far in texas, i don't think we have had a shooting at a school where teachers are armed. if you look at other countries that have done this like israeli, they have been very successful at preventing these types of shootings. i don't why we don't look at other countries and places have done this. i love a claire cares about this children, what i want to focus on how do we make this work and how do we prevent the death of our children? i don'

these kids have practiced the lockdown drills, they had just done drills a couple weeks before this shooting happened. the students knew what to do and they executed on that. the teachers, the administrators, the staffer knew what they needed to do and they executed on that. what other onus is on the people inside the classrooms in these kinds of situations? >> no question -- >> the administrators and the students did the right thing yesterday. they did exactly how they trained, however, every situation, every critical incident is different. what happened yesterday is different from what happened at columbine high school in 1999 and every other school shooting in between. there's something unique about it. this shooter had a pre -- he was predisposed to killing as many students as possible. he was premeditated. he wore a mask and used smoke bombs. he wanted to create a fatal funnel where there would be mass confusion by pulling the fire alarm where kids would funnel out of their classrooms and right in the line of fire to make easy targets for him. so every situation is different. >> darryn,

anxious dropping my child off the next day i know that even with all of the drills that we do we do lockdown drills in our schools twice a year we ask our children to be locked inside of a cabinet or a closet and to be silent and basically rehearse their own slaughter in their schools but as we saw in parkland all of the preparation in the world cannot stand up to an error fifteen. moms demand action i want a background check for each and every purchase in the united states they say it's the only way to keep weapons out of the hands of mentally disturbed. enter patrick is a spokesperson for the coalition to stop gun violence he sees better background checks as the absolute bare minimum patrick says president trump should push forward with a ban on bomb stocks devices that allow weapons to fire faster he's feeling the pressure a little bit on this issue if he's serious about it he will support a ban on bomb stocks in congress and signed it when it gets voted on after congress he has not called for that yet that's the really the only thing that came make real change and accessories and we will see if
