Schools
Hundreds of kids have been evacuated from a school in Colorado. An adult gunman is said to have taken anywhere from four to five hostages at Patte Canyon High School. Both Patte Canyon and Fitzsimmons Middle School have been evacuated.
A bomb squad and a SWAT team are reported to be on site.
Are schools safe?

The killer schools are coming.
wow, third!?!?!
I feel like I should document this lol
I dont know? is anything really Safe?
schools themselves are safe…it’s the deranged individuals that make the world itself not safe.
not really

Some are. Apparently this one wasn’t.
Schools are safe. News reports show us the worst, and the worst cannot be generalized. I have a huge problem with people who take the news without a grain of salt. But that’s not the belittle the situations that pose real threat. Just because they don’t happen often doesn’t mean that them happening at all is acceptable. But what is to be done? We can’t turn our schools into pseudo-prisons with metal detectors and armed policemen. The problem is not the schools needing to change. It’s the monitoring of these children, these students who are twisted enough inside to pull of something like this. Watch for the cause of the problem if you want to solve anything, the cause of the problem is that the issues of these upset students are not being addressed.
Nowhere is safe.
Schools, or anywhere else for that matter, can only have so many safety precautions before they become nuisances.
not when i’m there
“But that’s not TO belittle the situations…”
I am my own worst grammar nazi.
hehehehe, awsome first page.
By the way, I like the news you post on your site. I probably wouldn’t keep up with what’s going on in the world otherwise.
Y’know, I think that if that happened in my school, the gunman would be shot, stabbed, drugged and beaten to death with bats.
So, in conclusion, northern schools need gangs.
yea, bc mostly if you’re not known you’re going to get alot of strange looks.

well said! i agree completely.
is anything ever ‘safe’?…
Apparently not.
How did he get past the “No Firearms” sign? I don’t understand…
no
my school was safe.
oh the joys of catholic school.
Well, if you look at the number of high schools in the country, and then look at how many have a gunman come in (whether a student or someone else), then statistically our schools are very safe. It’s bad that stuff like this ever happens, but the media likes to play it up so much that you’d think every school in the country got attacked at the same time.
no, my childrens schools better be safe. Now Im not so sure though!
Not as safe as they ought to be…id’s and hall passes don’t keep killers from getting in. They need metal detectors.
My prayers are with those students and faculty in that school…I hope everything is okay.
no because of homework!!!!!
I am trying to get a prayer chain started for this, as well as running updates as fast as I can (while at work, please keep in mind). If interested please see my post.
Dan, I hope you don’t mind that I did this here…
To answer the question… No… Our schools are not safe. I will rant about this more later, but suffice it to say that I would seriously be blogging in your comments if I had *time* to rant about it all now.
I agree with whizzywhig3542
haha thats funny that you mention that. just today my brother was picking me up from school cuz i was leaving early, and in the office i could hear on the walky talky, “there’s a man coming in the front door; average male….ect.”
No. I mean sure the schools are safe by themselves, but people make them unsafe.
AreA disgrAce
“schools themselves are safe [sometimes] …it’s the deranged individuals that make the world itself not safe.”
I agree.
i’m watching this on CNN right now.
it’s people that make schools unsafe, not the building itself haha.
Of coarse not. D: Actually, yesterday one of the juniors at our school shot himself. And supposedly ours is the safest highschool in the area.
nahh not really but there safe enough i suppose

Not anymore, thanks to the dangerous religion of evolution. The two gunmen involved in that were strong believers in evolution. So was Hitler, who killed millions of Jews. So was Stalin who killed millions of his own people, and many more that weren’t. The list goes on and on. So no, schools aren’t safe.
We’re also not safe because we aren’t aloud to carry guns. In all seriousness, think of this situation: A gunman walks into a bank, and tells everyone to get on the ground and give him the money. Now, imagine that every honest and red blooded citizen is carrying a gun, just in case. The gunmen walks in, tells everyone to get down and give him the money. Immediately, everyone in the room is pointing a gun at him.
It bothers me when people say we need more gun control. Maybe that’s because all dictators in modern history have wanted gun control. Can you guess who? Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini…you know what happened once they got it? They were able to round up whoever they felt was not fit to survive (with Hitler the jews), and then murder them. One person with a gun can control 100 people without one. People with guns are citizens, people without guns are subjects.
probably as safe as any other place where there is a high concentration of people….
I also agree with whizywhig! That was a great response.
It’s a Colorado problem.
an adult gunman is a rare occurrence, but schools are clearly no safer than any other place.
what’s your point?
cuz normally when one asks that question, the real question is “are students safe from one another” yet I reiterate, schools are not inherently safer than anywhere else.
Nowhere is safe…something like that could happen anywhere.
best to be a secluded hermit i think
Hey!!! I go to a Colorado School. Its Adams City District 14 High School. But Schools can be very safe with tight security. I know of a school my brother and sisters go to that has security because of a gun incident from last year. And about the question you asked “are schools safe?” I think they can be safe as long as you enforce some kind of strict access because no one wants to be suspicious while dealing with their job and the students.
Relatively, comparatively speaking…but nowadays anything can happen.
u cant really have a yes or no answer for this one beacause anyplace can be safe but u never know even the safest place can have things like that happen nothing is perfect
sure. those kids have it comin’
not many
violent video games are to blame!!!!!!
not really
“An adult gunman is said to have taken anywhere from four to five hostages at Patte Canyon High School.” Anywhere from four to five? 4.2? 4.3?
PS~RYC~I agree! Thanks 4 commenting!
maybe its the thin air in colorado that makes people crazy
nope
I’d like to think that they are safe but just hearing that reminds me of what happened at my highschool about 3 years back. A father who was in the middle of a custody battle brought a gun to school and tried t kidnap his kids. We went into lockdown, but it was just real scary. I’ll never forget the look on my english teacher’s face when they muttered the code for armed intruder. Also, in grade 9, so we’re going like almost 7 years or so… we had a threat of a Columbine like attack that had hardly anyone show up at school *again lockdown.*
I think that we’d like to think schools are safe, but compared to 10 or so years ago, schools are alot more dangerous, despite the attempts for safety.
the schools are safe, it’s the crazies that walk into them with guns that aren’t
Really, nothing’s safe. There’s always a chance the most safe and secure stuff can go wrong.
For the most part, yes.
But when some crazy guy gets in I guess that all changes.
it doesn’t feel that way..but that’s what you get when you have people of different mentalities learning together
no, schools aren’t safe.
Schools are as safe as any other place a man with a gun can walk into … which is everywhere and anywhere.
Yes.
The absence of struggle and adversity is a pipe dream. People snap, kill, die, get sick, accidents happen.
People lack acceptance. They should pray for serenity if they are so concerned about gods plans for us.
I will pray for serenity in 10 minutes before I have my 5pm drink, and then go back to the city to begin packing… AGAIN.
Serenity, please? It was never supposed to be easy, and I’m glad it’s not…
schools don’t take enough procautions to be safe.
in general, including colleges.
hellno
schools are safe, it’s just that crazy people are gonna be crazy people; you can’t really do that much about it.
Depends how you define safe. No where is exactly safe. But if you take the number of school shootings by the total number of schools then I’d say so.
No becuase just this past Monday, someone called in a bomb threat at my school and pulled a fire alarm to try to get everyone out of the building to kill the most people possible.
yeah but not in colorado LOL
No. But then, it is the kids that mak them unsafe, so what’cha gonna do?
HELL NO!! and thats BEFORE the gunmen and crazies come through the doors!!! OMG…WHAT happened to discipline, Respect, Authority??!!! WHY?? And yeah, Schools are suppose to have lockdowns so they are keeping the students safe for such an event…things like locks/deadbolts on the inside of steel doors that get immediately closed when the lockdown signal comes on…. why isn’t this the norm for everywhere?? We have it… ‘Til The Next
It’s bigger than “are our schools safe”? Don’t you think?
schools are very safe. it’s the world that isn’t
Yes, but the people aren’t.
[ariana]
People are crazy and selfish…I think that’s the main problem. All of the schools I’ve gone to have had security guards and stuff. I mean, there is only so much the schools can do.
They’re sort of safe. If you think about it, you can’t be completely safe anywhere. Someone can kill you at your house, too. And houses are supposed to be considered safe.
No,neither is anywhere else.
no… people can only do so much to keep a place safe… having a locked down school is kinda hard to have with so many people running around, just about anyone with anything (except for those rediculous things people are thinking of… you could get a tank in a school… but I think people would know) could get in.
Leave
I’d say no.
Just last week my best friend got the crap beat out of her for no reason. The girl wanted to be suspended so she picked a random person to beat up. She got suspended alright.. for life. Which I’m sure is exactly what she wanted. What she didn’t count on was the whole school planning to beat her up next time they catch a glimpse of her.
This is so sad.
I don’t think it’s quite right to pose the question in terms of “are schools safe.” It should be posed more as why are these sickos still around, and why are they allowed to buy guns.
I don’t think there’s any school that’s 100% safe, but there are definitely some that are safer than others.
Schools? Yes.
Crazies? NO.
not public schools, but private schools are
Back when I was a kid we brought knives to school. Played mumbly peg, threw the knives at each others feet as close as we could and had fun. No one knew you could stab somebody with one. Deer riffles and shootguns were in the back windows of pickups of some of the kids. No one knew you used them to shoot people with.
So what happened. Don’t blame TV, Movies, Music, and Video Games! Sacred ground my friend. Lot’s of money to be had selling violence. Besides only a few associate the two.
I think that it’s funny that nobody ever tries this shit in any Los Angeles school. That would make good news!
“A man was shot by 48 students today in East Los Angeles when he attempted to take over their high school with a .38 revolver…more news at 11:00.”
well they try to make them safe? my new school that they just built, is pretty much on lockdown hah. all the doors except the front one lock after the first class begins. and to get in that front door, you have to buzz in through the front office where they have a camera and stuff. and if you open the side doors from the inside, a sensor goes off, i think. our school has never had security threats or anything but i guess this is just being really cautious for our safety.
How did he get in the first place?
My school is I guess. The school has tight security and enforces the ID’s and such.
Gated schools are.
The one I went to was. And it was right next to a really badpart of town, and one time this guy robbed one of thr apartments and jumped over the high fence (?) and the steep hill (???) and was running through the school grounds. We went into lockdown within 8 seconds.
It was a very safe environment, and I think all schools should do that.
but we dont have anything like those electronic security sensors that you see in stores. i dont think we’ve quite gotten that far yet. hah
As safe as anywhere else.
not really.. it doesn’t seem like it anyway.
Fight Mental Illness Stigma
obviously not……
Are malls, homes, any public place safe? Some are, some aren’t. I think that the largeness of a school may make it more vulnerable, don’t you think?
No place is safe.. We need the grace of God..
Blessings,
kim
Obviously no school is safe from a person who has evil intentions.
um…is ANY place safe?? you ALWAYS have to watch your back! cuz these days, people will just walk up && jump you….lol
UH…I think you answered your own question…….
also if you want to read an intriguing post, on God come and read……. comments would be appriciated
Sad. No.
Yeah, don’t I live in a great state?
Schools are as safe as the kids attending. Parents need to watch their kids more, then we wouldn’t ahve things like COlumbine
btw, its PLATTE CANYON.
just as safe as post offices.
Just about as safe as any other place.
No…. even besides the big shootings you hear about on the news, there’s violence all the time that isn’t reported. Just last weekend there was a huge fight and shooting at the school down the road from me. They aren’t safe. No where is safe anymore.
This is coming from someone who still goes to school. No. Not at all.
not public schools, but private schools are
Posted 9/27/2006 at 4:31 PM by chomper_x
Eh maybe they’re safer… but certainly not safe. You hear horror stories there too. Violence and hate is everywhere. Unfortunate, but true.
Safety is the illusion of a jaded, sated culture eroded by decadance.
Nowhere is completely safe.
I agree that schools are safe. It is individuals that make them unsafe. Unfortunately this happens more than we like to believe. It just does not always make the news. I did an altivista.com search to find the time that a school near my elementary school had a similar situation happen back in the 80′s (Stockton, CA) only to show it isn’t a recent phenomena or anything. I had to narrow my search down significantly to find the article. I think it only makes the National news when it is a suburban school with nice middle class people who do nothing to no one. I did not look at the other schools to see where these schools were located etc., but I would bet money that this is the case. We heard about this situation because this school was a nice middle class school where this kind of thing never happens.
Not really, a kid brought a gun to our school. He got caught because he went into the wood’s behind the school and shot a round into the ground. While he had no intention of hurting anyone, it wouldn’t have been hard to hurt someone. The fact is, there’s no way to prevent stuff like that.
nothings ever safe anymore.
This worries me, as I don’t live very far from this school (about 2 hours).
Nowhere is really safe from anything.
i’d put my kids in one…
Somewhat. Morons and geniuses are going to get around every safety thing you put up. The morons cause they’re dedicated, the geniuses cause they’re smart.
Considering how many schools there are in relation to the number of incidents… yes. Still, there’s something to be said for home-schooling.
I got to my friend’s house and heard about that! I felt really afraid for the people there, and said prayers for them. I think most schools are safe, but there is always the offf-chance that some nut-sicko-psycho could come in with a gun or bomb. (*v*)
Life is not safe. My worry is that the massive overreaction to events like this are making schools more like a police state and not a learning environment.
Over the course of the last 75 years leftist totalitarian thinking has gutted the Constitution and taken guns away from the good guys. If our nation would take the Constitution seriously again teachers could be armed and schools wouldn’t be prime, unarmed sitting duck hostage zones.
If I were armed at school, these repeated incidents would happen at elsewhere.
no
Not until idiots like this one find some other way to become heros in their own eyes.
You never hear this in the news, do you.
“and then our news teams converged all about the school where absolutely nothing at all out of the ordinary was going on…”
Media teaches us that negative press gets more attention, and all we ever see is negative press. And someone is already comparing the two gunmen (there was only one) to Hitler and Stalin.
Damn, one negative news story and now no school is safe anymore. I thought we were past this already…
Schools are safer than they were when I was in elem/jr. high/high sch but the kids are completely different.
Is there anywhere thats safe?
Life isn’t safe.
no
Swt
At least it is over now…
AreA disgrAce
well, my school is out in the boondocks (there’s about 600 kids total in the HS) so im not too scared. but last year, two ppl brought knives to school, so….IDK. @ some schools, u have to go thru a metal detector just to get in. so u tell me. if it’s come down to this, i really dont think most schools are safe. u shouldnt have to go thru a metal detector just to get into a place that’s supposed to be a “fun learning environment” but i guess that’s what it’s come to. so, no. schools are not safe.
{TwigZ}
ps hello?!? dont u remember columbine?????
no I work in one I would know
Many school now have the detectors. I think school are relatively safe, but there are crazies ‘out there.’
Not as safe as we’d like to believe, but not as dangerous as the media makes schools out to be. The chance of a lone madman shooting up your classroom is much more remote than being run over by a bus on your way to school.
And I say this as a graduate of Dawson College, which suffered its own shooting spree just earlier this month. What I would give to understand the motivations of people who would do crimes like this, and prevent them in advance…
Haha, my class broke the record for number of arrests in one moth. It was 27 in January alone, 16 of those were weapon related, 7 for violence on campus, 4 for drugs, and a partridge in a pear tree.
School isn’t that safe, but it’s better than home
hell no, whether guns or kids being verbally beat up.
terrible experience.
To say schools aren’t safe because of this is unfair.
People [try to] rob banks using weapons. They have the ability to take hostages. Does this make banks unsafe?
People break into houses with weapons, hold people hostage in their own homes.
Same story with gas stations. Or any other place on this earth.
Basically, no place is safe while crazy people with access to weapons are out there.
No, my school is dangerous. Scary things happen in private schools.
heheh
Is anywhere safe?
Yeah schools are safe, just not this one.
Plenty of corners and places to hide bombs and weapons. They’re so worried about searching us that they can’t consider we snuck something in before hours.
Whoop. Book idea….
No not at all. Can you think of another place other than a school, were you can find thousands of people in one place and it is all but guaranteed that none of them will be armed? Schools are only safe because it is a very rare thing to find a people that want to hurt anyone
If we have to ask, then probably not. Schools weren’t safe when I attended (more than 10 years ago).
never have been. have you seen some of the kids who attend school?? holy crap…
some are… when i lived in chicago we had a school with camars and u had to press a buzzer before you could get into the school..like the doors would be locked it was safe…and I lived in really nice neighboorhood…i didn’t want you to think i lived in a getto neighboorhood area
Sometimes things like this scare me, but schools are safe.
-Guru on the Hill
Not so much.
Any public building is at risk. That doesn’t mean we have to overburden systems with guards or S.W.A.T. teams. It does mean we take precautions, follow certain procedures, and prepare students/workers ahead of time with some simple guidelines to follow and maybe even some tips on what to do should a situation arise. We can’t prepare for everything and we certainly can’t prepare for the person who “flips out”.
Is anywhere safe?
Many schools are safe. Some schools are placed in an area where the surrounding neighborhoods are somewhat unsafe and are therefore somewhat unsafe. Some schools have students who decided not to put up with the way things are, student’s from another schools with an intense rivalry, or parent’s of students who are somewhat riled with the way things are. We don’t usually hear about the drug busts or bomb threats that are daily plaguing such schools. You might think the school to which I refer is an inner city school, but it is a suburbia school on the outer edge of a big city. The kind of public school that most schools strive to follow its example. It might happen daily to a school near you, but you won’t know until you ask and then take proper action.
Not so long as the NRA still exists.
‘Course they are. Guns are safe too. It’s people that are dangerous.
Cyber schools are ;]
No, not really. But hell, I want to go to college, so I’m gonna keep going to school, lol.
-KrIsTiN-
Oh, that all depends. My school is known for having bomb threats from just stupid kids, and we’re also known for.. let’s say… letting kids from other schools into ours, just to mug/beat up our kids. So we’ve made things a bit stricter, well, I guess I shouldn’t say ‘we’. They’ve made us wear IDs and this and that and now we’re somewhat safe. At least, more than we were before. Haven’t had a bomb threat in a few years, besides the one we had last week… haha, that wasn’t real though. Some kids wrote some graffitti and the administration took it as a sign…
Okay, I’m rambling.
Answer: Depends.
More or less
In theory, schools are safe. Human error contributes to the downfall of the security. Like doors locked from the outside are often propped open. I know that my little sister’s school initially seems very secure, but when you go to the security window to get in, no one IDs you or asks you to sign in. They just automatically buzz anyone in. Yes, that makes me nervous.
Well they heck should be!
nah, not really. you can pretty much barge in any school if you look innocent.
nothing is ever really ‘safe’
Well, if we see the things that are going on.. I would say that the answer is obviously “no.” I mean… teachers in Arkansas are also taught that when boys fight, then seperate them. If girls start fighting, then walk away and find someone else. So what about if that girl is getting the shit kicked out of her… thats so unjust. Even the food is unsafe. Food not fully cooked. I think that makes schools very much unjust.
Schools under the jurisdiction of state and federal government have never been safe.
For the most part, yes.
Evidently not!
since high tech security isnt deployed in regular schools, i would have to say not really
Well…heh…schools are a bit safer now that he shot himself…
Schools are safe. It just has to do with the students, and things going on in their hearts.
Schools are safe overall. I think a lot of the problem deals with the fact they are teenagers, angsty teenagers. Plus teachers and administration aren’t well equipped to handle these “lost” kids.
My school recently had a bomb threat (which proved to be false). Instead of evacuating us, they had a lockdown. My friend said that we have a lockdown instead of an evacuation because another school did an evacuation when they had a bomb threat and when everyone went outside all at once, snipers on the roof of the school shot the students. I live in a very wealthy community. The kids in my district have dubbed my school as the “ghetto school”. I recently made a friend who moved from our district to a poorer district 2 weeks ago. When I told him that our school is called the “ghetto school”, he said, “You don’t get to call your school ghetto until you’ve had a driveby shooting.”
Nope… but do you see any gansta banging some heads up?
Short answer… nope.
Long answer… schools just seem to be good targets, 1. large number of fairly easy prey to take hostage. 2- Media attention is guaranteed, that’s the point right…? to get your message out. 3- Hostages can be controlled easily because they are smaller, weaker, scared, and unprepared for this type of incident. 4- The design of schools themselves these days to make them safer… makes them easier to contain once you are inside… limited access points in or out, saftey bars on windows, locking mechanisms on doors, reinforced construction… maybe all we’re doing is making it easier to attack schools… even making them more appealing targets… nothing gets media coverage like innocents in danger… Terrorism knows no bounds…
I think all schools now are potentially at risk.
no. but there’s no way to make them completely safe, really. my schools from middle to highschool [all 4 of them] had metal detectors. they took forever to get through, and we still had stabbings and fights all the time, so i guess it didn;t really work all that well. and we were always getting sent home for bomb threats. ehh, i survived, so whatever.
> Someone missed something somewhere…. we’ve seen so many of these things, what with the 9/11 hijackings and such, why no federal task force to resolve these problems, too? We can make changes to stop or slow down airline incidents, why not progress here too? Or are the authorities this stupid?
Peace?? How, without cooperation? Think about it!!
The only “safe” place is within the protection of God.
That school looks like a game of Tetris from above.
schools themselves are safe…it’s the deranged individuals that make the world itself not safe.
Posted 9/27/2006 at 3:06 PM by Vivi_Kitty
That’s true. They need to have a better method of outsiders who come in.
is this the same as the columbine issue?? uhh, nyweiz, i think its not that safe nymore..
They are as safe as safe can be.
Is anything really safe?
It is a tragedy that one person can barge in and snuff the life right out of an innocent child but you have better chances at school then say behind the wheel of a car.
Nothing is safe. Especially with Big Brother around.
No schools are not safe! My son attended a school in 3rd grade where a 5th grader took a loaded gun to school! I attended a high school where knives were confiscated any given time they were searched for and never did police leave our school empty handed.
Schools are NOT safe.
no place is safe, Dan.
A family from my church moved out there to minister @ camp ID-RA-HA-JE and 2 of their kids are in that middle school… it was pretty scary.
some can be with protection and security but most part yes. the goals of the skool is to keep kids in a safe learning environment so they can get taght lessons and go to college. i mean what are the chances of a bomb threat in you skool? ya not too likely
yes and no. from a technical point of view, yeah they’re pretty safe. from a students emotional point of view though, it is a very scary and very dangerous place.
Schools are as safe as any other place, but the sad thing is some ignorant, and I hate to say this but this is what they are, Assholes will always try to make a statement by targetting”the weak”. I don’t know what could be done to improve school safty really
It doesn’t really seem to be that way. I heard about that on the news this morning, some kid was talking about what happened when the gunman went into his class. He said that the guy was way old looking and dressed in a hoodie and had a backpack to blend in with the students. He said that kids had seen him that day, but said nothing. Now, correct me if I’m wrong but, if you saw a man that looked, oh I dunno, maybe about 30 to 35 in your school with a hoodie and a backpack on….wouldn’t you feel the obligation to tell someone?! Wouldn’t you think something weird was going on????? Come on people, fucking think. And I’m sure school staff must have seen him or something, I mean, how long was he there before he actually took over that classroom?? How long was he there in that school? If he was there for a while, woukldn’t people be suspicious of him just roaming the halls and not going to class or anything? Although, I dunno, maybe he was only there for a few minutes, but I doubt it if the kid said that other kids saw him. Whatt he fuck? That must have been a class of fucking brain dead kids if no one thought that was weird or that he looked like he shouldn’t be there. It’s ridiculous. So no, school is not dafe because they’re too fucking stupid.
Sorry, I meant to safe in that sentence, my rant got the best of me =P
safer than most places.
You know, more people die at home than at school. Schools are probably one of the safest places to be.
Generally I like to think so. But I guess not as safe as I thought…
not all the tyme
not at all. it’s hard to prepare a school for such events 24/7 and give the students a sense of freedom, which they all crave. we still haven’t found a median.
Most schools are relatively safe. It’s the ones with the nut(s) with weaponry that are dangerous.
School is a noun.
To rampage and/or terrorize are tactics.
SCHOOLS AREN’T SAFE BOYCOTT SCHOOLS ………………… DOWN WITH SCHOOLS DOWN WITH SCHOOLS AND UP WITH AIR
It is ridiculous that people keep trying to make things safer and safer.
The only way schools could be 100% safe is to put ten locks on each door to keep the psychos out.
Come to think about it..that isn’t safe..what if there is a fire…?
NOTHING CAN EVER BE COMPLETELY SAFE. Something can ALWAYS go wrong.
People need to get a freaking grip and stop asking questions about things not being safe enough. Geshh.
Is life safe?
Depends on where you live. Then, again, is anything ever absolutely safe? Lives are so fragile. You just have to trust people.
Depends on the students in the school and the staff in the school. And how everyone is TREATED in the school.

I’m just glad I’m no longer in high school. This shit can happen anywhere.
Nothing is safe. Hmmm…this makes me think to the other day when we had a drug search…they found knives & gun shells in one kid’s locker…the next day, he was back in skool…could just be a rumor though.
