HALFWAY, Ore. – An Oregon elementary teacher claims a surprise active shooter drill at her school two years ago gave her post traumatic stress disorder, and she wants compensation for her suffering.

Linda McLean, 56, is seeking lost pay, medical costs and punitive damages in a recently filed lawsuit over an active shooter drill sprung on unwitting teachers by Pine River Charter School officials a few months after the December 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, WPXI reports.

The lawsuit alleges she was in her classroom on a day without students when a man with goggles rushed in, pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger. Smoke filled the air and the man, later identified as safety officer Shawn Thatcher, yelled “you’re dead!” before scampering off.

“Ms. McLean was disoriented and her heart started racing … (she) could not move, as she sat terrified in her chair,” WPXI quoted from the lawsuit.

“Thatcher left the room. He and (defendant School Board Chairman) John Minarich, who was also dressed in camouflage, and brandishing a weapon, continued going into and out of rooms, pointing their weapons at other teachers, pulling the trigger of the gun, and stating that the teachers were dead,” according to the suit.

The Associated Press reports the lawsuit names Thatcher, Minarich, six other school board members, administrators, and Alpine Alarm Communications and Construction, a company owned by Minarich that installed the school’s security alarms.

“Members of the district’s Safety Committee notified Baker County authorities in advance so they wouldn’t respond to a call from the school, and the sheriff’s office reviewed concealed-carry permits to ensure no teachers would fire back at Thatcher and school board member John Minarich …,” according to the news service.

The lawsuit alleges one teacher wet herself during the drill, and another was injured attempting to escape from the gunmen, WPXI reports.

After the drill, school officials concluded that a real attack on the school would have left most of its 15 teachers dead. McLean contends that being “assaulted and terrorized by a man armed with a gun lies well outside the scope” of her duties, and that when she attempted to return to school the Monday after the drill she felt “extremely emotionally and physically ill,” according to the news site.

McLean “continued to relive it and try to make sense of it, but could not,” the AP quoted from the lawsuit.

“McLean could not sleep, and remained anxious and vigilant. When she drifted off to sleep, she experienced nightmares and sweating,” the lawsuit reads.

Doctors and a psychologist later diagnosed her with PTSD.

McLean had worked at the school for over 30 years, but hasn’t returned to school since the incident, NBC news reports.

She contends she’s also been ostracized by the small community of less than 300 residents for speaking out about the drill.

School officials declined to discuss the lawsuit or active shooter drill with the media.
