Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School hid in their classrooms on Wednesday as a former student fired shots through the glass windows. It was terrifying for all those involved, but the students put into practice what they had been trained to do. And the steps they took likely saved lives.
Another potentially life-saving measure came in the form of the classroom doors that locked, which teachers secured on Wednesday and kept the shooter out, and the school regularly held lockdown drills.
School security consultant Ken Trump told ABC News that the students reacted properly even though some may have thought the warnings were just a drill.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said today that the suspect, Nikolas Cruz, pulled the fire alarm and waited for students to come into the hallway.
