? Obviously some of the people exposed to the scenario in Oregon had their paradigms of what effective school safety programs were shifted a little bit... I wouldn't call that stupid.

As for the local hose draggers, I should have been more clear. Their brass is (per the hose draggers) interested in working with LEO's in creating/running scenarios based on recent real world events. Obviously the fire guys would be dealing with the casualties/fires; but they are actually interested in doing these things side by side with other agencies to enhance communication, how to effectively triage/evac patients, deal with tear gas used in an attack, etc. Fire and EMS staff doesn't always see eye to eye with LEO staff; the fact that there is momentum building on the fire side is a very good thing. I have heard some rumblings from our staff (we have already been emphasizing some new training drills) but nothing definitive yet.
