BESLAN, Russia — Armed militants with explosives strapped to their bodies stormed a Russian school in a region bordering Chechnya on Wednesday, corralling hundreds of hostages -- many of them children -- into a gymnasium and threatening to blow up the building if surrounding Russian troops attacked. At least two people were killed, including a school parent.

As a teacher I can't even imagine having this happen at my school. We have some emergency preparedness procedures but not much. Stories like this...well, I'm just reminded of how blessed we are to live and work in the USA.
