School Shootings (and other violence)

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I know you’re aware that large-scale school shootings happen with alarming frequency, and, smaller scale school shootings happen all the time. My question to get you all thinking about this topic is what preparation does your particular school site where you’re interning have for incidents of shootings if they happen? What preparation do you have as a counselor as to how to deal with student reactions to them?

You may also need to do a little bit of research if you’re not sure of the issues surrounding school gun violence, the 2nd Amendment, and gun laws in general.
