Utah: Over 30 Armed Teachers Train to Take Out Active Shooters
< >
Over 30 armed teachers gathered in Spanish Fork, Utah, for police training in locating and taking out active shooters.
The Associated Press reports that the training occurred “inside a warehouse set up to look like a school.”
In one scenario, school psychologist Nancy Miramontes had to navigate hallways and walls, find the attacker, and shoot him. She “fired three shots,” one of which would have hit the active shooter in the forehead had the scenario been real life.
Miramontes received praise from the officer nearby. She had demonstrated that she could shift from nurturer to defender by recognizing a threat and removing it.
Afterward, Miramontes said, “I know how to protect myself and my students now; I know what to expect if the worst happens.”
Utah is one of a number of states that allow teachers to be armed on campus for classroom defense. Teachers can be armed in Colorado and Florida after receiving a certain amount of training. And Virginia’s Lee County not only allows armed teachers but supplies their guns.
