(LAW OFFICER) – A first-year principal at an elementary school in California is in hot water after she reportedly conducted an active shooter drill during which she callously pretended to shoot and kill students, some as young a 4-years-old, according to parents who complained about the unauthorized event.

Nina Denson, who became the principal at Washington Elementary School in San Gabriel in Fall 2023, was placed on administrative leave after the San Gabriel Unified School District began receiving complaints about students being traumatized by the lockdown drill, which took place on Wednesday, KTLA reported.
