A video of an active shooting drill at a Pennsylvania school has received sharp criticism over the decision to dress an actor playing a would-be shooter in what appears to be a Middle-Eastern style headdress.
A video of an active shooting drill at a Pennsylvania school has received sharp criticism over the decision to dress an actor playing a would-be shooter in what appears to be a Middle Eastern-style headdress.
The simulation video, which was made in January and only intended for internal training purposes, shows an actor abruptly entering a classroom and firing a shot, followed by a loud scream and students ducking their heads. The school said that two actors were used during the filming. In the first scene, it’s not clear if an actor is wearing a headdress — but a few minutes later, after police officers have caught up with him, there’s a clearer picture of him wearing a headdress with his hands up.An actor playing a shooter is at another point in the video seen wearing a blond wig, while police are escorting him.Penn-Trafford School District"The individual wore a long blonde wig with a scarf tied around his head and a paintball/tactical mask over his face.
The district said the costumes were used to conceal the identity of the shooter so co-workers wouldn’t know who the teacher volunteers were in the shooter simulation.Penn-Trafford School District"Like, you could have used anyone. You didn’t have to dress him up," Trinity Garbacz toldThe video drew criticism and concern over the shooter’s attire but also over the fact the school district was organizing active shooting drills in the first place.
Alicia said this best. Your intent is unfortunately not always your impact, and how you respond matters greatly. The release does not imply that they are listening to the public, they are only defensive. Even if it wasn't meant for public doesn't make it right.
