Farmington teachers complain after active shooter training gets too intense

[Sherman A1]

(KMOV) – Teachers call for help after getting shot at during an active shooter training session at a Farmington school.

Teachers at Farmington High school complained that the training on what to do if a gunman is in the school was too realistic after they were shot at with air soft guns.

School officials say the training had to be stressful and realistic so teachers will know how to react in a case of stressful real-life situation.

The National Education Association is critical of this type of training to teach students, teachers how to escape or fight back rather than hide in these situations. The school said it gave teachers a chance to opt out.
