Emergency Drill?
Where is your info coming from?"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776 -

It pisses me off that the media makes up crazy allegations and then put's not yet confirmed after them. "Reports of godzilla devouring children in a local school have not been confimed"
Obviously if it is a situation then that's one thing but lets get details before just spouting off random conclusions.Originally posted by Nash B.Comment

HALTOM CITY - A Haltom City elementary school was placed on lockdown Tuesday morning after authorities received reports of the sound of gunfire in the parking lot of the school.
Birdville Elementary, located in the 3100 block of Bewley Street, was placed on lockdown around 8 a.m. The lockdown was lifted around 9:30 a.m. after authorities searched the area and campus.
A district spokesperson said a parent came forward saying his truck backfired in the parking lot around the time the sound of gunfire was reported.

Anyone notice this?
ARLINGTON — Extra police officers were dispatched to Young Junior High School on Monday after a threatening note was found outside over the weekend.
It was described as a "kill list" naming 10 teachers from Young and seven from Miller Elementary, according to a source within the district.
Arlington ISD sent home a four-paragraph letter to parents Monday afternoon explaining what happened.
"Enhanced security procedures with additional police and school district personnel were put in place this morning," wrote principal Kelly Hastings. "The [Arlington Police Department] is still investigating this incident to identify the person responsible for making this threat."
That will continue until more information is known about this situation, said AISD spokeswoman Amy Casas on Monday night.
"The police believe there is no imminent threat to students or staff at either campus. However, the district and the police department will not take this investigation lightly," she added.
Still, neither the district nor police would reveal what the note detailed.
"Officers are investigating," said Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Richard. "However, we are not in a position in the investigation to disclose the content of the note."
The principal said Arlington Police continue to try to identify who left the note.

Train and arm the teachers and staff at these schools, and this bullshit will stop.
One thing these chicken-shit cowards causing this trouble will not tolerate is the chance that somebody may defend
themselves (and others) by shooting back.
