Officials Use Intruder RuseTo Clear Halls For Drug Search at High School
At Wolcott High School in Connecticut, school officials announced that an intruder was in the building. Students were told to hide in classrooms and stay away from windows while doors were locked and police with dogs moved in.
While students huddled in fear, drug-sniffing dogs combed the school halls and lockers.
“We wanted to practice,” said Superintendent of Schools Joseph McCary. “We said there was a lockdown with an intruder inside. Doors are locked, shades are drawn and the lights are turned off and students are told to move to a corner of the room.”
