MORE THAN 40 PEOPLE KILLED IN
THESE SHOOTINGS SADLY THREE
MORE TODAY.
WE BRING IN RETIRED DEPUTY
CHIEF STEVE ON MATTERS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
REACT AS SOMEONE WHO IS IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT THE DRILLS YOU HAVE
RUN THROUGH A MILLION TIMES
HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO
EXERCISE.
>> WE DID THIS TWO WEEKS AGO AT
OUR SCHOOL, SOMEONE COME IN AND
PREPARE US FOR THIS TYPE OF
INCIDENT.
YOU DON’T THINK IT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
THIS IS GOING ON, WE DEAL WITH
THESE KIDS ALL THE TIME.
IT IS HEARTBREAKING.
KIDS SHOT, IT TAKES A MENTAL
TOLL ON YOU TOO.
>> I KNOW YOU CAN GIVE US
PERSPECTIVE WHEN HE ARRIVED ON
THE SCENE LIKE THIS, I AM
SPEECHLESS THAT THE DEPARTMENT
WAS ABLE TO GET THE GOVERNMENT
WITHIN FIVE MINUTES BUT WHAT IS
THE PLAN WHAT IS THE TACTICS
YOU PROBABLY HEARD IN PART OF
THE BUILDING THE HISTORY
SECTION.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARRIVE
ON THE SCENE.
>> MAKE SURE THAT FIRST OF ALL
YOU CHECK FOR ANY CASUALTIES.
ANY KIDS LEAVING THE BUILDING
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS
UP, NO WEAPON. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
OUR DEPARTMENT HAS A DIAGRAM OF
OUR SCHOOL, OUR TEACHERS TOLD
TO GO IN LOCKDOWN MODE
BARRICADE DO NOT LET ANYBODY
IN.
UNTIL THE POLICE COME THROUGH.
GET THROUGH, CHECK THE
CASUALTIES.
DOOR BY DOOR BASED ON THE
INFORMATION THEY HAVE.
STOP THE THREAT.
>> REALLY UNDERESTIMATED PART
OF THE STEVE.
WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO GET OUT
TO SAFETY AS ENFORCEMENT IS
ARRIVING YOU HAVE TO RESPECT
THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF
THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO GET A
SAFETY MIGHT BE THE PERSON YOU
ARE LOOKING FOR.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IF YOUR HANDS ARE UP, RIGHT NOW
YOU ARE NOT A THREAT TO ME.
IN THEIR POCKETS YOU ARE A
POSSIBLE THREAT.
PUT YOUR HANDS UP, RUN OUT.
I THINK IT IS GREAT THOSE KIDS
EVACUATED AS FAST AS THEY COULD
THE RESPONSE WAS PHENOMENAL.
SOME PEOPLE CRITICIZED RESOURCE
OFFICERS, YOU DO NOT NEED AN
ARMED GUARD YOU NEED SOMEONE
THERE TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS.
>> DID TAKE PART IN THE
TAKEDOWN SO IMPORTANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT PERSON
PUT THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE AND
SAVED SO MANY OTHERS.
I KNOW ON AIR FOR A BIT DOING
THAT SECONDARY RESEARCH TRYING
TO EXPLAIN THERE IS FEAR THERE
COULD BE ANOTHER GUNMAN WHAT
GOES ON ON THAT SECONDARY
SEARCH.
>> LOOKING FOR WEAPONS.
WE DO NOT KNOW THIS KID’S
MENTAL STATE. ECONDARY
DEVICE.
MAY HAVE HAD THE GUNS,
SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING GOES OFF, YOU HAVE TO
BE SO CAREFUL.
IT TAKES FOREVER A HUGE
BUILDING, IT TAKES FOREVER TO
GO THROUGH YOU HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL.
YOU DON’T KNOW IF THERE IS
ANOTHER PERSON IN THERE.
WHO IS TO SAY THERE IS NOT
ANOTHER PERSON THERE WAITING.
>> YOU AND I GOING TO SOUND
LIKE A TOTAL MAN SITTING ON A
PORCH, THE STAKES HAVE CHANGED
SO MUCH COMPARED TO THE FIGHTS
OR THINGS THAT USED TO HAPPEN.
HARD TO IMAGINE THE LOSS OF
LIFE INSTEAD OF A BLACK GUY
THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN TO.
THAT MUST COMPLETELY DRIVE YOU
CRAZY.
THE FACT WE HAVE GUNS SHOWING
UP IN SCHOOLS MORE THAN TWO
DOZEN SHOOTINGS IN AMERICA THIS
YEAR.
>> IT IS RIDICULOUS.
YES WE ARE OLD SCHOOL.
LOSER GOES TO THE HOSPITAL AND
THE WINNER GETS SUSPENDED.
NOW MAYBE SOCIAL MEDIA MAY BE
TOO MUCH MOVIES OR WHATEVER,
THE KIDS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT
WHEN THEY SHOOT YOU REAL, YOU
DO NOT GET OFF IN T.V. THEY GO
TO THE NEXT EPISODE.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS KIDS
ISSUE WAS BUT THERE IS THREE
DEAD STUDENTS.
THE TRAUMA THEY KIDS WITNESS.
IT IS HEARTBREAKING.
NOT LIKE IT USED TO BE.
>> TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF
SOCIAL MEDIA.
THE WEIGHT THAT HAS CHANGED
POLICE WORK AND WORK AROUND
YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> YOU KNOW THAT IS ONE OF OUR
BIG ISSUES.
I TELL THESE KIDS QUITE FRANKLY
SHUT UP DO NOT SAY ANYTHING.
DO NOT POST THIS.
I AM SORRY.
I DON’T WANT WHAT HAPPENED IN
OXFORD TO HAPPEN HERE.
SO STOP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA STUFF
AND LET IT GO TOO MUCH DRAMA
AND PEOPLE TAKE IT TO THE NEXT
LEVEL.
BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT SOMEBODY
GETS SHOT.
YOU GUYS DO NOT STOP.
NOW OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY.
LATER ON IN LIFE WHEN THEY
APPLY FOR A JOB EVERYBODY
CHECKS THE STUFF SO VERY BAD IN
HIGH SCHOOL.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK.
WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA, THERE
WAS TALK THERE WAS ISSUES IN
THE PAST FEW WEEKS THAT IS
WHERE THE POLICE AND SCHOOL HALF TONIGHT AND FIGURE OUT
HALF TONIGHT AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT IS A THREAT AND WHAT IS
NOT.
YOU KNOW MAY BE SOME FRIENDLY
BANTER.
REALLY DIFFICULT FOR YOU AS A
POLICE AGENCY WORKING ALONGSIDE
SCHOOLS.
>> IT IS.
SOME PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW DO
NOT WORRY ABOUT THAT KID.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT COULD MAY HAVE ISSUES AT HOME YOU ARE NOT
HAVE ISSUES AT HOME YOU ARE NOT
AWARE OF AND I TALK.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
