Yesterday at my school there was a bomb threat. Just after the start of 1st period, about 8:50am the cops showed up and our school went into lockdown. Usually everyone has to evacuate the school, but this time everyone had to stay in their classrooms until everything was clear. Their reasoning for keeping us locked in the classrooms was that if the bomb went off, the explosion would travel through the hallways. Me and my friends were outside at the time and we saw the police show up and didnt think anything of it because they are there almost everyday. Anyways we were forced to go back inside, which is stupid, and had to go to the library. There were already 100-200 people crammed in there. We were forced to stay in there and after nearly an hour they deemed the situation safe. I used to believe that my school was one of the safest schools in our city, but lately I have been thinking otherwise. Just last week our school was in lockdown again and the police were called in because some kid pointed a gun(which turned out to be fake) at the security cameras. Our school is always on the front page of the newspaper for these kinds of incidences. I do enjoy the excitment and time out of school but im just a little suprised that all of this is happening at my school.
