'We're asking children to make executive decisions, life-and-death decisions: Do we attack or not? Do we run or do we lock down?' one safety expert said.
Still, some experts say students have been conditioned to be overly eager to fight when confronted with a gun in school.
"We have had students and educators shot moving to attack when the person was not firing, had not fired," he said. Amy Klinger, founder and director of programs of The Educator's School Safety Network, pointed out that while heroes who confront gunmen often make headlines, the chances of getting shot at school are still so rare that it's hard to study whether fighting back against the assailant is always the right move.
"There's a difference between standing here and thinking, 'this is happening in front of me,' versus 'I am down the hall and I am supposed to go run down the hall and take down the shooter,'" she said."When you have no option but to die, then something needs to happen, but to say that in a room full of students all of us are going to charge, no.
