One Reply to “Shoreline has emergency plans in place”

  1. I was at SPU that day at my husband’s retirement party. We had just left when my husband and all of SPU received text messages on their phones “Lockdown, not a drill!!! Immediate danger. If caught outside, run away from campus.” Over and over.
    I worked at SPU for 6 years. Right after the Virginia Tech massacre we started having serious drills every month. Doors could be locked from Safety/Security office. Loud speakers installed. Every building had several people assigned to manage lockdowns with safety gear and bullhorns.

    Even with all the drills. A man was able to just walk in to a building and shoot people.

    I have an idea that I hope all schools adopt; locking doors. When class is in session, classroom doors remain locked.

    Building should have door monitors with pepper spray, cameras and a metal detector alarm.

    These copycat killers are on the increase. We don’t see them coming because they are Caucasian, privileged, and don’t seem like dangerous thugs or gang members.

    They are the neighbor’s shy kid. The nice guy who wouldn’t do such a destructive thing. But this trend is way too popular.

    Only one kid died at SPU. To the faculty, students and staff, that was a million too many. The whole community is devastated with grief and sadness.

    Please protect Shoreline CC. I’m a student there in worker retraining.
    Lock the doors. Have lockdown drills every quarter.

    SPU never thought it could happen. It did. Things are forever changed now.

    Thank you,
