    In 1989 our elementary school came up with a code for "lock down" called "Code
    Blue." We anticipated things like custody disputes, etc. About a week later
    a Code Blue was announced and we all thought it was a drill. However, in the
    cafeteria it was no drill. A custodian shot another custodian from across the
    cafeteria that was filled with first graders. The victim died immediately and
    the shooter ran out, but not before holding a gun to the head of an aide and
    shooting into a playground full of children. No one else was physically
    injured. I, personally, began suffering from panic attacks for a while after
    it was all over, and a number of the teachers had similar responses. Anyway,
    I take all of our drill plans very, very seriously now.
