Interesting article on a new 'Shots Fired' video taped here on our Cheney campus and will soon be distributed nationwide.
Apparently, there is a debate over whether this will actually help students prepare for a possible incident or if it will encourage more violence.
I have a hard time believing there is any downside to training students how to react in an emergency, considering the events of Virginia Tech.
But it's a great debate.
