Yes. I went through them rather often when I was young. They were labeled “intruder drills”, but the idea was to try to survive a firearm-induced massacre.
Lock the doors, stay away from windows. Hold your coughs, your sneezes. Stay out of sight, under something if possible. Crouch like you would during an earthquake.
Yes, there are yearly trainings on what to do in shooter scenarios, how to use classroom supplies in self defense, how to hide effectively, and how to run to safety.
Extremely common. And before that, there were bombing raid drills – get under a table or into a doorway when the siren goes off, because Soviet missiles are inbound. Both my parents remember these. It was complete propaganda, designed to instill fear into people, because there’s no way a simple wooden barrier is going to protect you from a thermonuclear strike – as my very cynical grandpa apparently said, “don’t hide when you hear the siren, just bend down and kiss your ass goodbye.” Unfortunately, school shooting drills serve a much more real and practical purpose.
Very common in American schools. Starting from Kindergarten kids learn to blockade the door with desks, hide in a corner of the room which can’t be seen from the window, and take scissors as self-defense tools.
Minorities in America are deathly afraid of guns. We usually avoid redneck neighborhoods because there’s a good chance we could get shot just for walking in front of their house or looking “suspicious”.

I would also add that everywhere I’ve worked has shooter training as well.
I’ve worked in many different healthcare facilities, a pharmacy, and now in retail. All have had mandated shooter training.
Healthy society.

What a country
Literal lasting psychological trauma from it. And it’s normalized.
Yearly? When I was in school in the South we had then every 1 or 2 months!
I’ve never used a bullet proof blanket, but I have had school shooting drills every few months.

Honestly they only started when I was in middle school in the early 2010’s for me
I wonder what kind of long term effects this can cause on americans. Its really fucked up.
