Question for the Americans with elementary school age kids in your lives (as I live in Canada and I haven't been inside an elementary school in a while)
I've read on some news stories that the gunman "broke into" the school; I'm not sure that I understand "broke into".
Every elementary school that I know of (i.e. here in Canada), yes, visitors have to "report" to the office, but unless the office is "right there" at the front entrance, someone could stroll into the unlocked front entrance & easily bypass the office and wander around the place until someone inquired, "May I help you?"
Are American elementary schools generally kept "locked"? (In particular, the front entrance?)
Please explain / advise.
