Can canned goods stop school shooters?

When it’s a weapon of self-defense for students to throw at an armed intruder who has just entered their school.

That’s one scenario Valley, Alabama, officials are considering as part of their training to respond to school shootings.

“Start gathering several items you can use to protect yourself. Every room has something you can use to distract and defend from the aggressors’ attack,” says the Auburn video’s narrator. “Communicate with others around you and tell them your plan. Don’t wait until the aggressor gets into your safe area to have a plan of action.”

Students can throw books, book bags, computers and, yes, those canned goods to distract any aggressor.
