An Oklahoma mom went viral on TikTok after posting a video which showed her going over active shooter drills with her 5-year-old son as he prepares to go to school.
The TikTok video – which has over one million likes – shows Cassie Walton, a 22-year-old mother of two in McAlester, Oklahoma, playing out a school shooting drill with her son Weston. In the video, she asks him what he would do if he heard the principal announce a shooting over the intercom.
The video shows her son crouching in a corner of his bedroom, demonstrating how he would hide in his classroom and use his bulletproof Spider-Man backpack as a shield to protect him from bullets, to which Walton says, "good job."
