Well, in terms of realism, the drills (ie. fire) we do need are sometimes deliberately changed to replicate specific situations - at my school, for instance, a handful of pupils are sometimes instructed to hide in the school buildings somewhere.
Use of guns with a load of children is a bit different though.

I would have to say - maybe if there were similar gun controls to ours (these incidents here are decades apart, not so likely a problem that we require drills), there wouldn't be a problem in the first place. *ducks*
