voice of a dog Wrote:i am a student who was at the building. Here is was happened. There were 2 guns brought into school by freshman. They were in the boys locker room. A gym teacher saw it and caught one of the kids and the other one took off. Half way through seventh period the school was put on a lockdown. We were locked in our classrooms for about 2 to 2 and 1/2 hours. The security and police had to check the school and lockers for the other gun. Classes were let out one by one and upon leaving the building we walked through metal detectors and put our bags through a scanner.
I should not have to be scared to go to school. The administration did a good job reacting to this, but how did the guns get in??? I am a senior and so far many things have been ruined for me this year. First the school changed to a new program which they were not ready to do (half the kids didnt get schedules until the 2nd week of school, second the bonfire was canceled because of gangs, third the guns, and 4th my vball senior night was canceled. It is still the 1st quarter of school.
I know that a transition during your Senior year can be difficult, been there done that. YOU WILL SURVIVE..... not that that helps any. Many of us made it through the first transition, ripped from East and moved to WEST campus 1991-1992. I It was handeled professionally and it is only the first quarter. Hang in there....... and keep "snitchn" people. This is the only way the we can say we're not gonna take it....Get out of our schools!
