According to the FBI, there were over 250 active shooter incidents between 2000-2017. In 2019, there were 417 mass shootings. Here in Texas, let us not forget El Paso, Odessa-Midland, and West Freeway Church of Christ. All of these tragic incidents happened recently and are too close to home.
The threat of these types of incidents leave us living in a world where frequent lockdowns are commonplace as a precaution. For example, last month at Lone Star College the campus went on full lockdown bringing back the scary memories of the 2013 incident.
