CNN also adds that students at Saugus High School have previously practiced active shooter drills in school. One student talks about the incident, saying, “We weren’t by a classroom, but we couldn’t run over there because we thought he was over there. We ran through the fence, luckily it was open, and we got as far away from campus as we could. We just kept running because we didn’t know where he was. We learned just to run.”
