Live Active-Shooter Drill Took Place in School with No Warning to Anyone but Principle

The simple fact is, live active-shooter school drills (with real guns and possibly live ammunition) have taken place in the past without the schools staff, parents, or teachers consent, terrifying students and staff. In fact, in at least one occurrence a student was sent into an asthma attack as the event was so traumatizing.

Eastlake High School, EL Paso

Although members of the mainline press including Anderson Cooper would like you to believe that that this would never be a reality and that no one can question inconsistencies found in the Sandy Hook shooting case. However, the authority’s claim, “It’s an active shooter drill,” O’Neill said. “We do this every now and then. If you warn too many people then the simulation is not effective.”

A report by Rick Dupont details;

EL PASO, Texas — The Socorro Independent School District stands behind its decision to simulate an act of terrorism without warning teachers, parents or students.
At 8:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, the students and teachers at Eastlake High School were told to vacate the hallways and lock down in their classrooms. According to students and parents, gunshots and screams were heard. The SWAT team was seen entering the school.
Stephanie Belcher has a 15-year-old son enrolled in Eastlake. She said she got a text message from her son that scared her.
“He said, ‘I’m not kidding. There’s gunshots and people screaming and we were locked in a storage closet,’” Belcher said.
SISD’s Assistant Superintendent, Pat O’Neill, said the fact that only the principal of the school was warned was a necessary part of the plan.
“It’s an active shooter drill,” O’Neill said. “We do this every now and then. If you warn too many people then the simulation is not effective.”
“These kids thought that their classmates were being killed and that they could be next,” Belcher said. “There’s no excuse for that.”
“I’d rather them be upset with us now instead of something happening and we’re not prepared,” O’Neill said. “Then people are going to ask questions like, “Why weren’t you prepared?’”
“I went to school in California and I don’t remember them shaking the building when we had an earthquake drill,” Belcher said.
Eastlake freshman Rudy Soto said the drill was too realistic.
“It was pretty scary,” Soto said. “Even the teachers got scared.”
Soto said he almost experienced a full-blown asthma attack when he heard the gunshots.

Could such an event have taken place or intertwined someway with an actual shooting in Newtown? We do know that 2 other active-shooter drills were taking place simultaneously to the actual reported events as Sandy Hook Elementary School that December morning.
