After learning that fire alarms were pulled a school in Florida to send students into the path of a shooter this week, some are calling for schools to consider doing away with fire drills.  It's a dilemma for first responders like Alexandria Fire Chief Mike Ward.  "In our area, if a fire alarm goes off, we want you to pay attention to the fire alarm because that's what those kids are trained to do," he said.  But Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones posted a video on Facebook Thursday, saying "we need to rethink fire drills."
