QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should school and law enforcement active shooter drills be required by law?
The threat of active shooters is a reality of life in modern America.
Attacks have been perpetrated in a variety of settings, but schools have been a favorite target of mass shooters in the 21st century.
That has spurred most states, including Missouri, to pass laws requiring active shooter drills in schools. The requirement won't go into effect until fall 2026.
Meanwhile, only one state requires law enforcement to hold drills -- Texas, where 19 students and two teachers were gunned down in 2022 in Uvalde.
