Thai Schools Conduct Shooting Drills After Deadly School Attack

Thai schools are practicing what to do if an armed attacker enters.

The exercises happened after a deadly school shooting.

Students learned to run away when possible and hide behind locked doors or under tables.

They also practiced using furniture to block entrances.

In one practice scenario, students tackled the pretend attacker.

A police officer acted as the attacker and used guns loaded with blanks.

Schools were told to prepare safety plans and practice emergencies.

One Bangkok school is also checking bags and using metal detectors more often.

School leaders said the training could help students stay safer during a real emergency.
