I agree with this completely. There have been too many shootings, particularly school shootings.
The only real lockdown I can even remember was from middle school, and it took hours. We even had to miss our lunch, because we had to stay locked in class. For a long time a lot of students had no clue why we were locked up so long. It was because our middle school was right down the road from Virginia Tech, and we were in school the day the attack happened. Apparently we were locked in class while the shooting was happening, incase the shooter decided to go down the road to our school.
