Hazelwood (MO) School District

The shooting deaths at Umpqua Community College remind us that people can show up with deadly intent anywhere. 

A police officer who wanted to keep his wife--a school principal--safe developed a training program for dealing with active shooters. 

Greg Crane calls his program ALICE, for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. 

He has worked with the Eugene Police, among many others. 

Greg Crane joins us with details of the program.
