`RENO, NV - Several schools were caught in the lockdown during Wednesday's Reno manhunt at Sutro and 9th. Most of the schools were a few blocks away, but one was right in the middle of it. Police had to get creative when evacuating the Head Start school on 8th Street. Making sure those children were safe was the number one priority, but getting them away from the scene was difficult... ...What they ended up doing was creative. **It turns out those armored vehicles used by the SWAT team are pretty good at transporting kids. "The armored vehicles are just that. They are armored. Were there to be some type of a threat situation, they would be protected that way," said Lt. Parker. The kids were taken out of the threat zone, transferred to RTC buses a few blocks away, then taken to their parents."I am just happy to have my kids," said Harris.` http://www.kolotv.com/home/headlines/SWAT-Rescues-Kids-During-Manhunt-273868641.html ****************************************************** `Worked well in Reno...*Yep.....you do not need them... until you do! `Why are armored vehicles o.k. to protect Wal-Mart bags of money from theft but not o.k. to protect cops from gun fire?`
