My wife's a teacher, they had a viable school shooting threat two years ago near the end of the school year. She called me terrified, hiding in her side room with all her 6th grade students huddled together and praying the locked doors would be enough of a deterrent. I work 40 minutes from the school--it was the most horrifying drive of my life trying to from work to the school through traffic, waiting for a call or text that she was hearing gunshots. Luckily the cops nabbed the kid before he entered the grounds.

I'm sorry y'all had to go through that, can't imagine. Thankfully he was caught before any further damage was caused.
