In light of the shootings this morning at an elementary school in Connecticut, many are asking could it happen here. Laramie County School District Number One Superintendent Dr. Mark Stock says the district prepares for such an event, with the hopes it will never happen here.

(...plans that we put in place, we do have everything from tornado drills to lock down drills. And we also practice that we call table top drills which we try to create scenarios like the one that just happened on the east coast and we try and we try to decide if this happens here, you know the principals get together to try and decide how it would be handled....)

Stock says they also practice with local law enforcement agencies to be as prepared as possible.
