Why is Apollo's Shield needed?
We must be prepared for the unexpected.
Current statistics provide us with the unfortunate recognition that school shootings are the reality of today's students, teachers, parents and administrators. Although schools focus of preparedness training excerises, nothing can prepare them for an armed intruder.
