If you are taking cover, and shooting from a low position, your bullets that miss are going in the ceiling. In most schools that is concrete. The other option is don't miss, I doubt the shooter was using cover, and a poor shot even with a rifle. Otherwise he would have had close to the same number of victims as casings on the floor. I suggest kneeling barricade training, just not doing mag dumps on the range.
BTW in most states what you describe is felony murder, meaning that he is charged for the kid you accidentally shot.
