Teacher Sues Oregon School District for Traumatic Active-Shooter Drill [View all]

When a goggle-wearing gunman burst into her classroom two years ago, teacher Linda McLean wondered if she was going to die.

That's when she noticed a pistol on the floor outside her classroom and wondered if she should pick it up and go after the man in black who had just pointed a gun in her face, pulled the trigger and told her she was dead.

That is McLean's version of what happened during a simulated school shooting at Pine Eagle Charter School in Halfway, Oregon, in April 2013, according to a newly filed federal lawsuit.

Yet she was never warned that it was a just drill — one that came just four months after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut — the suit claims.
