California Assemblymember Chris Ward proposes a bill to ban fake gunfire and mandate advance notice for active-shooter drills in public schools. The bill aims to provide clear guidelines for conducting these drills and ensure students have access to mental health resources. Some districts have conducted drills with trainers acting as shooters, students playing dead, and using fake weapons, causing distress among students.
