School shootings were one theme of the latest episode (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/107241-s02e16-perspectives/?do=getNewComment) of NBC’s New Amsterdam, but with a bit of a twist.

Instead of a plotline about a school shooting, it revolved around students traumatized by an active shooter drill at their school. One of the students, Danica, gets referred to New Amsterdam shrink Dr. Iggy Frome. She is so traumatized she never wants to return to the school.
