Gunfire crackles and screams echo through Eeka McLeod’s home in Phoenix, Arizona.
McLeod is issuing rapid instructions to her 7-year-old daughter Ella, who is sprawled on her back on a bedroom floor.
“Stop breathing so heavy. Don’t move … little breaths, less, less,” she tells the girl. “Relax your face … no smiles, no nothing. Relax every muscle in your body.”
The dramatic scene isn’t a real shooting. The gunshots and anguished cries come from a video playing on McLeod’s phone. Mother and daughter are rehearsing for the unthinkable: what to do if a gunman enters Ella’s school.
