The insanity here appears to be on several sides.

Iowa officials cite threat in canceling shooting drill involving teen angry about immigration - The Washington Post: "An Iowa training drill involving a mock school shooting by a teen venting anger over illegal immigration was canceled Friday after authorities said a real shooting was threatened at the high school where the drill was to take place.

Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said his office was notified about the threat that came to the school Friday morning from an out-of-state phone caller who threatened a shooting at Treynor High School, the site of the four-hour drill scheduled Saturday for police, firefighters and other first responders.

The caller stated something along the lines of, “’Your school shooting drill may be a reality today,’” Danker said. He said three deputies went to the school Friday morning as a precaution. It was not immediately clear when or if the exercise would be rescheduled. County emergency management officials did not immediately return messages Friday.

The drill has gained attention amid concerns raised by groups opposed to illegal immigration that say the fictitious scenario had a political agenda in featuring a teen with ties to a white supremacist group and gun enthusiasts who was angry about immigration issues."
