Craziness

Today I got a text from my daughter. It said that there was a rumor of a shooting at the school, and that there were cops and metal detectors... I virtually FLEW to the school. It was frightening.

Arriving at the school I was one of about a hundred parents there in a line to request dismissal. During my wait, there was a steady stream of parents coming in and students leaving. It was surreal.

It turns out that a graduated student of the high school was shot and killed the other evening at an apartment complex and there was a threat of retaliation for that death. (I presume that means that the shooter was a student at our school??) Why else would that affect our school??

I can't believe this world. I can't believe that there were 20+ uniformed officers and many undercover officers at the school.

I am kind of in shock.
