Good for this quick thinking clerk in the school library..
Maryann Jacob, a clerk in the school library, was in there with 18 fourth-graders when they heard a commotion and gunfire outside the room. She had the youngsters crawl into a storage room, and they locked the door and barricaded it with a file cabinet.
There happened to be materials for coloring, "so we set them up with paper and crayons."

"One of them slid his badge under the door, and they called and said, 'It's OK, it's the police,'" she said.
