World War I Trench Design To Be Used In Some Schools Against Mass Shooters

From the August 30, 2019, Chicago Tribune  "Michigan school designed to hinder a mass shooter" by Alex Horton, Washington Post.

Now, this is a real sad story to read.

Engineers in World War I dug through the earth to build serpentine trenches borne from horrifically clear logic.

If enemy soldiers ever breached the trenches, the zigzagging pattern would prevent them from shooting in a straight line down the the length of the trench --  leaving only a relative few exposed to gunfire or shrapnel.

That concept has come back a century later in a western Michigan high school as protection against mass shooters.  It is a $48 million project at Fruitport High School which will add curved hall ways, jutting barriers and spaced classrooms that can be locked on demand
