A newly appointed elementary school principal in California may already be out of the job after she allegedly conducted an unauthorized active shooter drill during which she callously pretended to shoot and kill the young students.
Nina Denson, who has been the principal at Washington Elementary School in San Gabriel for less than a year, was placed on administrative leave after the San Gabriel Unified School District began receiving complaints about students being traumatized by the unauthorized lockdown drill, Los Angeles CBS affiliate KTLA reported .
The incident reportedly took place during Wednesday’s school day and involved children as young as 4 years old.
Jennifer Chavez, whose 6-year-old son is a first grade student at Washington Elementary School, provided the station with additional details about what allegedly transpired during the incident that she said left her son “really upset.”
