School Lockdown

My middle school was on lockdown for about 2 hours this morning. The police got a tip that some students were going to bring a gun to school. They ended up grabbing two male students who had an unloaded handgun and found a third guy at home who had more guns with him. It all went down very undramatically, but I guess it could've been a lot worse. Our teachers and students handled it really well. The rest of our day has been pretty pointless - our front office has been mobbed with parents coming to check out their kids. I only have 5 kids in my class right now. Such fun! And here I thought I was moving to suburbia and getting away from weapons and drugs. Why is it always the white kids that end up being the crazy ones?
