“If you need to run a drill, you run a drill,” she told WBBM Newsradio’s Bernie Tafoya. “They run fire drills all the time, but they don’t run up and down the hallway with a flamethrower.”

But this is in Chicago where it's likely none of them have ever heard gunfire or even seen a real gun up close unless it was strapped to a cop
