THIS COMES AS QUESTIONS CONTINUE
TO EMERGE ABOUT THE TIMELINE OF
THE MASS SHOOTING AT ROB
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN UVALDE,
TEXAS, OFFICIALS SAY THE ON
SCENE POLICE COMMANDER’S
DECISION TO NOT HAVE OFFICERS
IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO BREACH THE
CLASSROOM. AND CONFRONT THE 18
YEAR OLD GUNMAN WAS WRONG. THE
SHOOTER WAS ABLE TO WALK UP TO
THE SCHOOL WITH A RIFLE ENTERED
THROUGH AN UNLOCKED DOOR AND
BARRICADED HIMSELF INSIDE A
CLASSROOM FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR.
19 CHILDREN AND TWO TEACHERS
WERE KILLED IN THE SHOOTING. THE
GUNMAN WAS KILLED BY A TACTICAL
TEAM. AND THE RISE IN SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS HAS FOUR SCHOOLS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO PREPARE
THEIR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FOR
THE UNTHINKABLE THAT FEAR OF A
POSSIBLE ATTACK AND THOSE NOW
ROUTINE ACTIVE SHOOTING DRILLS.
IT’S ALL TAKING A TOLL ON
CHILDREN AND PARENTS. BRAHIMA
ELLIS HAS THE LATEST. THEY’RE
CALLED THE LOCKDOWN GENERATION.
MILLIONS OF AMERICA’S CHILDREN
TAUGHT TO PREPARE FOR SCENES
LIKE THIS IN YOU’VE ALDI.
THEY’VE BEEN DOING IT SINCE
PRESCHOOL. STACY FEELY POSTED
THIS ON FACEBOOK WHEN CHANDLER
WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. SHE
SAID SHE WAS PRACTICING FOR A
LOCKDOWN TRAIL AND WHAT YOU
WOULD DO IF YOU’RE STUCK IN THE
BATHROOM. MY HEART SANK. AND YOU
FELT SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR
DAUGHTER’S SENSE OF INNOCENCE AT
THAT TIME. I REALLY THOUGHT THAT
OKAY, THIS IS A VERY FAST WAY OF
GROWING UP. SOME SCHOOLS BEGAN
HOLDING LOCKDOWN DRILLS IN THE
WAKE OF COLUMBINE 23 YEARS AGO.
TODAY MORE THAN 95% OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS CONDUCT THEM MARKS
LIGHTS OUT OF SIGHT. VAN DINE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SYRACUSE
LOCKDOWN DRILLS HAPPENED FOUR
TIMES A YEAR. SOMETHING VETERAN
FIFTH GRADE TEACHER ELIZABETH
OLIVIA WASN’T EXPECTING. NEVER
IN MY BIOLOGIST. IMAGINATION. IT
TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY. OUR
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO YOU
HAVE THIS FEAR, BUT IT’S ALL
THIS PREPARATION DOING MORE HARM
THAN GOOD. A RECENT STUDY
SHOWED. LOCKDOWN DRILLS LED TO
INCREASED RATES OF DEPRESSION,
STRESS AND ANXIETY FOR STUDENTS
OF ALL AGES. IT IS VERY ANXIETY
PROVOKING IT CAN MAKE A CHILD
FEEL HOPELESS, SCARED TO GO TO
SCHOOL. BUT 10 YEAR OLD OWEN
KIVA BELIEVES THE DRILLS AT HIS
SCHOOL IN BEAVERCREEK, OHIO,
WOULD PREPARE HIM FOR THE WORST.
WE WOULD USUALLY JUST HIDE BY
OUR CUBBIES AND PUT THIS STOPPER
IN THE DOOR. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A
GOOD PLAN. YEAH WE HAVE TO DO
THAT. I’VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE
KINDERGARTEN. STILL, HIS MOTHER
WORRIES ABOUT HOW OWEN REACTED
TO THE SHOOTING IN. YOU’VE ALDI
. HE WANTED TO BE BRAVE AND SAID
, IF THE SHOOTER CAME INTO MY
CLASSROOM I WOULD PICK UP MY
DESK AND THROW IT AT HIM. AND IN
THAT MOMENT, I WASN’T QUITE SURE
HOW TO FEEL IN MARYLAND, SEAN
FLAME, SAYS HIS EIGHT YEAR OLD
DAUGHTER, AMELIA, IS FRIGHTENED
BY WHAT HAPPENED IN TEXAS. SHE
SLEPT WITH MY WIFE AND I AND OUR
BAD WHICH YOU KNOW SHE HASN’T
DONE IN YEARS, BUT SHE’S STILL
PUTTING ON A BRAVE FRONT. SHE
WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, DON’T WORRY,
DADDY. I KNOW ALL THE SAFEST
PLACES TO HIDE. PARENTS HOPE
THEIR CHILDREN DO NO WHERE TO
HIDE, BUT PRAY THEY NEVER HAVE
TO. RAHIMA ELLIS NBC NEWS. AND
HERE AT HOME. CHURCH LEADERS
CAME TOGETHER YESTERDAY CALLING
FOR A STOP TO VIOLENCE ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. THE GROUP MARCHED
THROUGH THE STREETS AND PARKS
AND DETROIT’S EAST SIDE
PREACHING THEIR MESSAGE OF
PEACE. ORGANISMS SAY THEY
DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION FOLLOWING
THE STRING OF MASS SHOOTINGS
THAT HAPPENED THIS MONTH ALONE.
THEY SAY THEY WANT CHANGE FOR
THE COUNTRY AND, MOST
IMPORTANTLY FOR DETROIT. WE GOT
TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SAFE. IT’S
NOT. IF IT’S NOT SAFE FOR THE
CHILDREN. IT’S NOT SAFE FOR ANY
OF US. WE CANNOT STAND IDLY BY
AND CONTINUE TO WATCH. OUR
CHILDREN BE MURDERED. THE GROUP
SAYS THEY’RE CALLING FOR
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION AND GUN
CONTROL MEASURES TO THE SHAKEUP
IN THE GOP FIGHT FOR MICHIGAN
GOVERNOR REPUBLICAN
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE JAMES
CRAIG FILES AND APPEAL TO GET ON
THE AUGUST PRIMARY BALLOT. CRAIG
ALONG WITH FOUR OTHERS RUNNING
FOR GOVERNOR WERE DISQUALIFIED
FROM THE BALLOT BECAUSE OF A
LACK OF VALID PETITION
SIGNATURES. ACCORDING TO THE
COMPLAINT. CRAIG IS ASKING THE
COURT OF CLAIMS FOR A HEARING ON
THE VALIDITY OF HIS PETITION
SIGNATURES ON EITHER WEDNESDAY
OR THURSDAY. HE’S ALSO ASKING
FOR A RESPONSE TO HIS CHALLENGE
BY FIVE P.M. TUESDAY, THE
APPEALS COURT IS EXPECTED TO
MAKE A DECISION NEXT WEEK. AIR
TRAVELERS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES
FACING HIGH FLIGHT PRICES ARE
ALSO DEALING WITH CANCELATIONS.
THE FLIGHT TRACKING SITE FLIGHT

NOW, 806 FLIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY
