TLDR? Here's the tail end of the article that matters:
Quote:
"According to the department of public safety, you've passed the proficiency," he says. "But how do you all feel?"
Norman Rangel, a principal at a nearby private school, looks at his target. He's shot the child hostage several times.
"I hit the kid a few times," Rangel says. "I know it is just paper, but it still impacted me. This is very serious. There's no way to overstate that."
Proctor nods. "If you are not satisfied," he says. "I'm a happy person. Because what would I be satisfied with? 100 per cent, that's what I would be satisfied with."
'It's a big responsibility.'
An obviously shaken Jace Daily stares at her own target. Six of her shots hit the child in the head.
"It's not very good," she admits. "When I first came up [to the target], of course I looked at my misses. I looked at that precious little baby and all the holes in his head. I obviously did some damage to the bad guy too."
She pauses and takes a deep breath.
Librarian Jace Daily is visibly shaken after seeing that some of the shots she fired hit the child in her training target. 'I need some practice,' she admits. (Nick Purdon/CBC )
"I need some practice," she concludes.
Asked if seeing the little kid makes the idea of a school shooting more real, Daily says, "For sure. I have 7-year-old boys and they are about that size," she says — her voice unsteady.
"It's a big responsibility."

IMO Teachers shouldn't have this nerve wracking responsibility. They're not marksmen.
