Training To Help Prevent School Shootings



At a Dallas middle school, students are learning tools to prevent school tragedies. The program called “Say Something” is run by Sandy Hook Promise. The free class teaches students how to recognize warning signs like peers posting threatening messages online, bragging about guns, or expressing suicidal thoughts.

  1. Why don't people just be kind to the slim young looking white boy instead of socially isolating him and making him feel unwanted and feel like doing a shooting?

  2. This makes me want to donate to Sandy Hook Promise, to give kids practical advice that can save lives.
    Ditto for Every Town for Gun Safety, to prevent tragedy.

  3. Does the class begin “ kids, society has failed you so we’re dumping the mess on you”.

  4. 269 American mass shootings so far this year in the only country on Earth that has school shootings .

    The US constitution has been amended 27 times. Do not believe people who say it cannot be amended.

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks

  5. Kids should be able to focus on education. Things like how our country is no longer a democracy where the people rule, but a corporatocracy where the NRA buys Senators who keep us from having sensible gun laws that would keep them from having to go through this bs.

  6. This should have happened after Columbine

  7. the goal here is to make concentration camps out of schools.. America is a joke

  8. They not psychologist Small things that the FBI or the police catch on they may not catch on

  9. Quiet people Are dangerous

  10. Oh, this is normal. Algebra, biology…and training to deal with mass shooters. You've got the Republican Party and the NRA to thank for that.

  11. Free public schools is not a constitutional right and that's just food for thought

  12. They need to pass the schools choice vouchers and it's a civil rights issue and a Debt for Black American Aboriginals cultural schools

  13. WE NEED A SCHOOL EXODUS. This shooting, and the police's inaction, proves that American schools are not safe. Children should not be forced to attend a dangerous environment. Parents everywhere must REFUSE TO ENROLL OR SEND THEIR KIDS INTO SCHOOL FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Write to lawmakers and tell them that until major legislation is passed that improve GUN REGULATIONS, SCHOOL SAFETY, AND ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, you WILL NOT send your child to a place where where they could be killed while you are helpless to stop it.

  14. then they need to train in hospitals, malls, churches, teathers and every public place… or pass law restrictions so we don't need to be under stress everywhere we go.

  15. That's a great start hopefully they do that all over. I hope to hear more stories like this.

  16. good start they need to do more! shields needed in all classrooms, bullet proof doors and windows

  17. good I think teachers should have guns if trained yearly

  18. This is crazy Schools should not be soft targets.
    Politicians have armed guards! Why don’t we secure schools and protect children!
    Guns will always be around. Banning one gun will do nothing.
    As Joe Biden once said “No gun control will stop criminals from getting guns”

  19. Looks like the majority of the class was made up of future thug and thuggets

  20. No, training for school shooting alone is not enough; America needs to train for hospital, shopping mall, church, kindergarten, residential, graveyard, subway, government building, public transport, recreation park, gym etc…… you name it, shooting trainings! What a huge JOKE!

  21. all the adults in this country, are you not ashamed that we are not protecting our kids?!

  22. I’m not a scientist or anything like that but seems pretty obvious that making weapons of war easily acceptable to psychos or whoever is having a bad day just might be a contributing factor to the frequency and severity of these kind of incidents.

  23. You wanted diversity you got it

    nobody safe free or happy

    all the mass shootings based on hate for another group

    Oklahoma was Blk against doctors

    CA Church was Chinese on Taiwanese

    NYC subway was blk on W

    Buffalo was W on Blk

    Texas was Trans on Straight

  24. Great start this should teach year around in all grade k-12 so can recognize bad apples and stay away from them

  25. Put guns into the hands of
    teachers and students to
    defend themselves! 🫡🇺🇸

  26. Putting power into the hands of those who need it most, the children. What an excellent solution!
