Lock Down!

Yesterday around 10am our school had a lock down. We sat in our locked classroom, lights out, fairly quiet for about an hour and a half having no clue what was going on. We could hear helicopters going by over head. Apparently there was a suicidal armed man (he wasn't armed after all) in the neighborhood. I think it was 9 total schools in the area that had a lock down, including the library next door. Read about it here. There were many stories going around the school such as children seeing the man walking through the halls, carrying a gun, etc. etc. What vivid imaginations our children have. I'm glad to say everyone was safe and sound at the end, though maybe a few frightened children and teachers. What an exhausting day. I was sure ready to go home after that.
