Conundrum of a fire alarm with gunfire: Flee, or lock down?

Students and teachers responded as trained when the fire alarm sounded, streaming out of the school and toward exits only to run into deadly gunfire. Two boys with stolen guns took aim from a wooded hill, waiting for people to evacuate after one of the boys had triggered a false fire alarm. They killed four children and a teacher. That was 20 years ago at Arkansas' Westside Middle School, before active shooter drills became part of the routine for schools across America. Students today are taught to evacuate during fire alarms but lock down during school shootings.
