Jill Biden says she has 'imagined' a shooting in her own classroom

First lady Dr. Jill Biden revealed on Friday she has often envisioned what it would be like if there was a shooting in one of the classrooms in which she teaches.
"As a teacher, I've imagined that scene in my own classroom, again and again," said Biden during remarks at the National Parent Teachers Association's 125th Anniversary Convention. "At the start of each semester, I'm sure all of you in here who are teachers do this, you explain to your students on the first day a path, a pathway, to get out if a shooter comes into the school so that they're prepared."
Biden, who has been a teacher for 38 years, said active shooter training is now part of life for every educator.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
