Hot New Idea: Shadow Zones In Classrooms To Protect From Mass Shooters
What’s the cost differential between building these shadow zones and the teacher having a firearm and proper training?
Classrooms in this new school will have a ‘shadow zone’ so a gunman cannot see cowering students
Engineers in World War I dug through the earth to build serpentine trenches borne from horrifically clear logic.
If enemy soldiers ever breached it, the zigzagging pattern would prevent them from shooting in a straight line down the length of the trench — leaving only a relative few exposed to gunfire or shrapnel.
That concept has been reinvigorated a century later, in a sense, for a western Michigan high school, to dampen the killing potential of a mass shooter.
A $48 million major construction project at Fruitport High School will add curved hallways to reduce a gunman’s range, jutting barriers to provide cover and egress, and meticulously spaced classrooms that can lock on demand and hide students in the corner, out of a killer’s sight.
“If I go to FPH and I want to be an active shooter, I’m going in knowing I have reduced sightlines,” Fruitport Superintendent Bob Szymoniak told The Washington Post about the curved hallways. “It has reduced his ability to do harm.”
Yes, a mass shooter is worried about that, considering it would also be a gun free zone with little chance of anyone offering opposition. For, what, $5000 or so they could arm multiple teachers along with proper training and range time, right?
The construction in Michigan is also part of a grim reality of schools methodically preparing for massacres as if they were lesson plans and quizzes.
Jefferson County schools in Colorado have given teachers buckets and cat litter to have on hand in case children need to relieve themselves during a prolonged active-shooter lockdown. Sharpies are supplied for writing the time in which tourniquets were applied, and candy helps diabetic children with low blood sugar hiding in darkness.
Or, a teacher could shoot the shooter. Whatever floats your boat.
Classrooms will be built with a “shadow zone” where a gunman peeking in could not see students cowering along a side wall, said Matt Slagle, an architect for the project and director of K-12 projects at the TowerPinkster design firm.
Or, a properly trained school employee could pull out an easy to use “assault rifle” and shoot the perpetrator. Hell, even a shotgun loaded with beanbags could be used to knock the person senseless.
