<p>^^^that is horrible.</p>
<p>wow...i guess i should read my posts more carefully before i post them; the way it sounds, the guy came to school; the shooting was independent of the school, but it was so freaking close to school that the bullet holes reached the buildings...it was pretty bad--the guy had hostages from what i remember; all these parents showed up at school and they all parked all around the school, and one guy had holes in his car...btw, not columbine! i'm in the state of Louisiana, and in my city, the best school's in the worst area...pretty bad; play 50 cent and you fit in!</p>
<p>my school is outside a city, and there was an armed robbery which led to a highway chase. Then a cop crashed into the getaway car to try to stop them and 2 guys ran out and one got away.That happened right outside the admissions office. so they locked us in the theater for 5 hours. we didn't get out till like 8 and we didn't have any food and I was so hungry. Then it was on the news all night and that was kind of cool. There were actually some prospective students who got locked in with us, and they actually all came. (Their parents liked the way the situation was handled and they liked how crazy and fun we were). Then about a month later there was another lockdown but that one only lasted for 2 hours.</p>
<p>wow.. crazy crazy schools you guys go to..</p>
<p>the most danger we've been was when people lit fireworks (legal) outside the school auditorium while we were having a formal assembly.</p>
<p>We had a lockdown my sophomore year when some kids thought they saw a guy coming into school with a gun. It happened right as the warning bell for first period was ringing, so most kids were still milling around in the halls. Staff had everyone secure in a matter of minutes, then we spent the next three hours in the classrooms while the school was searched and the suspect caught and questioned. </p>
<p>It wasn't really scary because we didn't actually know what was going on for awhile, it was just like "oh sweet we get out of history today!" Then we turned on the TV in the room and watched the news reports about us that were happening right outside. That was actually rather amusing. We've also had a few bomb scares that turned out to be beeping video games in lockers or something, lol.</p>
<p>^ beeping video games in lockers, lol. Sounds like something that would happen at my school. Honestly, there's never really been anything big at my school, unless you count the fight that two kids had over some comments on an internet discussion board.</p>
<p>The only time I've experienced a bomb threat, although false, was in elementary (but it was not specific which school the "bomb man" implanted this "bomb). Anyway ... the most recent incident I can recall was when two (maybe more) ethnic groups spontaneously started a fight (one guy had blood covering his whole face; I heard another guy got stabbed by a mechanical pencil, eh; then a guy fled, etc., thus issuing a lockdown/code red/something). Then after school on that day, older members of the ethnic groups respective "gang" came to school with guns, and can you believe it, swords (come to think about it, swords are like a "come-back" weapon because I heard from the news a guy was stabbed with a sword). But I was leaving the school just as I saw hoards of people rushing in to the "scene." Oh, now that I remember, the most recent lockdown occured because some frosh took-out an, I believe, airsoft-gun on a senior.</p>
<p>We had about 3/4 bomb threats a year at my old school...got so frequent that the police would randomly search lockers with dogs about once a month (they were looking for drugs too).</p>
<p>my freshman year: 15 bomb threats</p>
<p>no joke.
they were all fake, though
people just wanted to get out of class</p>
<p>Not in high school, but we had around 30-40 bomb threats my 7th grade year. ****tty South Tucson school with about half illegal immigrants. It sucked. To think that's where Tucson School dist. located there gifted program.</p>
<p>Apparently we had a fully automatic pistol at our school two weeks ago, which is funny, because fully automatic pistols don't exist. The week after there was a lockdown because some guy was threatening to kill himself with a knife, or something of the sort. I bet it was a fully automatic knife, too.</p>
<p>When we have a campus lockdown they come on the PA saying "Dr ____ (superindendent), please come to the main office," so we were joking that they'd have to change the "code" to superman or elvis instead, lol.</p>
<p>No, the stalker was a 22-yr old man who was angry at the family for some reason. He would not only stalk her as she came to school, but sent death threats each week for almost a year, and the family reported none of it-they figured if the authorities said everything was fine, it was fine. (And yes, they were newly arrived Chinese immigrants).</p>
<p>We had a similar experience as the OP, but I don't want to give out details. Basically we had to stay in first period for 2 hours (I had photo so it was actually kinda fun) and we only had a 12-minute 2nd period. The situation ended up fine in the end. :)</p>
<p>Way before I attended my high school (like in the early 90s), the Vice Principal got in trouble for having extra-marital affairs with a student or such.</p>
<p>Anyway, the Principal stripped him of his job. The VP was so angry he came during school one day and shot the Principal to death in his own office during school hours.</p>
<p>I am <em>so</em> glad I wasn't there then.</p>
<p>two or three years ago, 6 albanians came with machetes and went after this kid. The next week, the kid knocked out 5 albanians with brass knuckles. Later that week, 30 albanians tried to kill the kid and others that were with him at a parking lot. They shot at him at threw tire irons at the car. Last year, there was a 40 person fight at the park down the street. The albanians brought chains, knives, and baseball bats with nails in them. The next day, one of the kids who got beat up saw 2 of the kids, and broke both their jaws. He was like 250lbs. Stuff has settled down now, but three years ago, there were so many fights, and no one believed in just using fists, and they werent one on one.</p>
<p>thats awesome!!!</p>
<p>i wish we had guns and **** @ my school.
here in greenwich the only thing you ge tis mable the occasional milk or some shti thrown, sometimes huge foodfightes around the HUGE cafeteria with cathedral cielings (size of two basketball courts maybe more)</p>
<p>all we have is drugs and alcohol here; no guns.</p>
<p>^^whoa, that’s intense.</p>
<p>We had a fake bomb threat in 7th grade. Nothing really happened, lol.</p>
<p>People are so paranoid about packages since that incident in Times Square a few weeks ago. I haven’t seen as many bomb threats as I have the past few weeks.</p>
<p>We had a bomb threat in my school two years ago…I thought it was quite stupid because the bomb was supposedly in the cafeteria, yet where they had us evacuate to (since a lot of people were outside at lunch) was the parking lot, quite close to the cafeteria…I swear, if a serious bomb went off, we would’ve been injured badly or dead standing right there.</p>
<p>Ahh… High School (last day was yesterday, graduation friday).</p>
<p>We had two serious lockdowns in like a 3 week period. </p>
<p>First one, a kid was supposedly stabbed in the bathroom by a “mysterious” person. The bathroom was about 50 feet from my classroom. It was also early release, so we would have gotten out at 10:20. We were in that class past 11:00. Couldn’t use the bathroom for four hours… torture. Not to mention the swat team with guns (someone took a picture through the window) blocking off the entire building, checking each classroom for the guy. By 10:30, they were personally escorting people to use the bathroom lol. I don’t think they every found the guy (but they found the knife).</p>
<p>Second one happed a week ago. Our school starts at 7:20. Lock down at 7:21. I went to my first hour a little early to ask my teacher if I could drop off some DVD’s the Band had me make. I was halfway to the band when the lock down happened. Some teachers were still arriving, and one saw me and escorted me to the office (before she asked me if I had a weapon… must be a black thing :)). People were scrambling everywhere. I spent a hour in a half in the office with 10 other kids talking about their preference of drugs (“weed is disgusting. Cocaine is where its at” – I kid you not). Turns out, some girls’s ex-boyfriend had followed her to the school with a weapon. They found him in an apartment complex nearby.</p>
<p>This is after 4 years of never having a real lockdown before…</p>
