Robb Elementary School houses almost 600 students -- limited to grades 2, 3, and 4 or ages 7-10. Survivors have given accounts of how they've practiced "lock-down" since Pre-K, and have long understood where during a real emergency, their parents would be waiting for them at a safe location-- in this case, the Civic Center.
The beauty of this age is that their minds allow them to individually and collectively go into "drill mode" and respond to their rescue as practiced. They knew to be quiet and keep down. We learned during today's presser that when one 4th grade student (target room) called 911, a classmate asked her to hang up -- most likely recalling their drill instruction to stay quiet.
Whether it be Columbine or Uvalde, there will never be a shortage of blame but for at least one moment, these children and their teachers and parents and also rescuers need to be commended. MOO
