I doubt it. I feel like most instances of school shootings would have people calling from cell phones though, right? I’d sure as shit be hiding somewhere with my cell phone, not using a landline in a classroom.
There 100% needs to be a texting system nationwide. Having someone in a dangerous situation TALKING on a phone with the other person’s voice possibly coming through as well. And then the 911 operator calling back if disconnected?? What if the ringer isn’t on silent. Or it vibrates… That shit is not silent.

In some areas you can text 911, this allows deaf and hard-of-hearing people to get emergency services without needing to go through a TTY operator. This is not available nationwide yet, nor is it available in Hudson County. It is available in NYC and many other NJ counties, at least according to the FCC published data.
