Pennsylvania School Shooting Training Video Depicts Shooter in a Muslim Headdress

Ever since 9/11, Muslims have been under fire with regards to violent activity in American. This sentiment manifested itself in a school shooting training video in a Pennsylvania school district. The video in question showed what was clearly a shooter in a school clothed in a headdress from Middle Eastern cultures.



The video that was shown was made in an effort to “build confidence in the staff members’ awareness of how to respond to an emergency,” with regards to teachers and other authority figures who might find themselves in an active shooter situation in a school. This statement comes courtesy of the Penn-Trafford School District which finds itself just outside Pittsburgh.

The video was apparently made using teacher volunteers who wore garb that included “costumes and accessories” that would “alter their appearance so that they were not readily recognizable.” In the end, the person in the Middle Eastern garb is arrested after hero officers demand that the person, “Show me your hands.”

The episode was deemed “unacceptable.”

Other characterizations were worse, saying the video was “moronic.”

Usually school shootings are carried out by another student who's pissed off at his classmates.
