Police Are The Terrorists: Announced School Shooter Drill Terrorizes Oregon School Teachers

(NaturalNews) With memories of the Newtown, Conn., shooting still fresh in the minds of Americans, why on earth would a school want to hold an unannounced active shooter drill using its staff of teachers as victims without their prior knowledge?

That’s a question likely to come up in the days ahead, especially at the Pine Eagle Charter School in rural Halfway, Ore., in the eastern part of the state, where school officials decided the unannounced “drill” would be a good way to test whether active shooter training provided earlier by the Union County Sheriff’s Office was effective.

Per The Oregonian:

Two masked men wearing hoodies and wielding handguns burst into the Pine Eagle Charter School in this tiny rural community on Friday. Students were at home for an in-service day, so the gunmen headed into a meeting room full of teachers and opened fire.

Someone figured out in a few seconds that the bullets were not drawing blood because they were blanks and the exercise was a drill, designed to test Pine Eagle’s preparation for an assault by “active shooters” who were, in reality, members of the school staff. But those few seconds left everybody plenty scared.

‘It was shocking’

“I’ll tell you, the whole situation was horrible,” said elementary teacher Morgan Gover, 31.

“I got a couple in the front and a couple in the back,” she said, adding that perhaps two of the school’s 15 teachers in the school would have survived.

“It was shocking,” elementary teacher Dollie Beck, 54, told the paper.

To say the least.

Not surpringly, Principle Cammie DeCastro has heard some criticisms of the drill from some people in the small community of 288, but she remains convinced it was a valuable exercise.

“For us not to know how we were going to respond is leaving us open,” she said, which got agreement from Beck and Gover.
