During Christmas break at a middle school in Washington, sheriff deputies teamed up with local police to train their response to active school shooters. Keep in mind that each red balloon represents one innocent child. In the footage you're about to see, different officers face the exact [music] same scenario. Notice how each officer reacts differently under pressure, some better than others. >> We killed one person. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Which is why this type of training is essential for protecting students in schools. In a worst case nightmare, these split-second decisions can mean life or death. >> Help me, please.

Drop the gun. >> Drop the gun. >> Still give commands. >> Um, >> drop the gun. >> Drop the gun. >> If you touch this gun, I will kill you. >> Shot again. >> Okay. Take a breath. Okay. Can I Here what you need to do here. Can I show what what I'm going to do here? Right. Drop the gun. It'll be shot. Do it now. Drop the gun. Do it now. I'm going to sit here. >> And I'm going to wait cuz now I'm in control of this, right? If he tries to shoot me or do anything, I'm going to shoot him at point blank. Okay. >> These are students. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, if can I shoot him safely with these >> from that angle? >> From this angle, right? cuz it's down. I don't have to worry about hitting any balloons. Okay. Also, if he tries to pick this gun up, am I going to feel it? >> Okay. So, it's awkward. Sorry, Hickey. You can get up. Um, it's awkward to want to advance in on that. Right. But when we take that angle and he's got that, we have to scan. So, we came in, we see that there's an obstacle. I need to be shooting him and I need to take like take that different angle and then I need to make sure that I'm not hitting them. So then I'm going to change and I'm going to come up and yes it's awkward but again these these kids didn't ask for it. They're all being held hostage. Okay. So you did that going in and you can just yell at the ground >> and [snorts] do I want you to walk through that. >> Drop the gun. You're done. You're going to get shot. Drop the gun. >> No. Okay. Keep going. >> Drop the gun. >> Okay. Now what are you going to do? Hold here until more back and forth. [snorts and clears throat] >> Take a deep breath. Right. >> We're breathing out all our stupid. Is my gun loaded and ready to go so that if he does point that gun, I can shoot him. Right. Yes. >> Okay. Now, what am I going to do? >> I'm going to still hold in. Okay. >> 54 kitcom. The shooter's down. I'm going to be in classroom 108. >> Send all units to me. Right. And I'm going to just sit here and then I'm going to wait. But I'm not going to I'm going to keep that. I might tell that student, "Hey, kid in the with the red head, right? Move behind me." Right. >> Right. >> Something like that. >> Okay. >> Okay. Kings X. >> We killed one person. >> Yeah. >> Weird. >> Right. Okay. >> Well done. You did great. >> Thank you. You >> did awesome. Yeah. Hey, first time ladies. It's good. Nobody stopped. >> They definitely should run through more like real life scenarios in the academy. Like >> Yeah. H. They don't. >> No, they don't. It's too scary. >> Too scary. I just want to show like, hey, FYI, windows. The reason we say this window is because it's behind two locked doors. So, if you're first on scene, you center punch this window, you rack it, you get in. You're not going to hit any locked doors on the way. Does that make sense? >> Do you know? >> Uh, I think you hit the corner, right? >> Do you guys have your corner punch? >> Nope. >> Okay. >> Amazon it. It's literally It's going to save you on like rollover collisions. They do happen in the city. It's a center. It's literally a spring-loaded pink. >> Oh, you prefer that over one on a vice? >> Absolutely. It's like five bucks on Amazon. It's a spring-loaded top corner patink. Scoop it out. It worked great on car windows, too. When we're driving, both of you wanted to be in like low ready. How I mean, you want to you want to drive with it out. Okay. So, I don't have to point it. You can. There's nobody out there. But then when we come in when we're saying so you you want to have some like giddy up in your step and you serpentine. Does that make sense? So you're making yourself a harder target and you're you recognize right like it's going to open. So if I'm looking and then I should know that there's no doors that this is a hallway cuz I can see. So do I need to pause and walk? >> No, I can run. So right like the running through this I'm going to slope cuz I know there's something there. I'm going to serpentine. I know that this is empty and I'm gonna start doing it like this, right? I'm driving. I don't hear stimulus. These should all be locked down. I get to here and the stimulus happens. Right at this point, do I care that I need to clear any of this? >> No. Kids are dying that way. So, it's a hustle, right? We're running. We're driving with our gun. We're running. I can still keep my eyes on it, right? And then maybe I start to slow so I can take this corner. I don't see anything. And then I'm driving to the stimulus. Does that make sense? >> Okay. Foot work.
