The discussion over whether students should be involved in active shooter training is starting in the Corridor. Iowa City Police already train school district staff on what to do in an active shooter situation, but now they are asking how and if students should be a part of it. They are also working with law enforcement to decide what is appropriate for different age groups if students do receive training. The discussions are still in the early stages but police say there are parents and students on both sides of the issue. "When events like an active shooter or a violent intruder happen, we don't want that to be the first time they've thought of it, because you don't know your options at that point," said Sgt. Derek Frank of the Iowa City Police Department. "It's sad because of the times that we live in that it's necessary, but it would be nice to be able to have people comfortable enough to not be panicked." Ultimately the decision on next steps is up to school administrators "We'll really take the lead from the school district so when the school district decides how they're going to proceed we'll do everything we can to facilitate it," said Mr. Frank.
