Grand Island schools launched firearm safety drills, teaching kids to "Stop! Don't Touch! Tell an Adult!" when encountering guns. During a demonstration, Officer Riley showed proper handling techniques while stressing these were emergency skills only.
The program made headlines when 10-year-old Aiden recognized his neighbor's unsafe storage after spotting a similar example in class. The neighbor, who'd just completed his nys concealed carry course, was shocked a child noticed what he'd missed.
"We're not teaching shooting," Principal Cole clarified. "We're preventing tragedies." By year's end, accidental firearm incidents in homes with trained children dropped 40% - proving knowledge, not avoidance, saves lives.
