California Principal Suspended After Disturbing Active Shooter Drill

A San Gabriel elementary school principal is under investigation for conducting an unauthorized drill, simulating shooting students with finger guns.

Nina Denson, principal of Washington Elementary in San Gabriel, conducted an unauthorized active shooter drill, pretending to shoot students and declaring them 'dead'.
The incident, which involved children as young as 4, has sparked outrage among parents and calls for Denson's removal.
The San Gabriel Unified School District has placed Denson on leave and launched an investigation into the drill's conduct.
Counseling resources have been made available to students and staff affected by the traumatic drill.
The drill was criticized for not adhering to district protocols or best practices, with a veteran teacher appointed as interim principal.
