Wow...

I was in my 5th Hour talking to Cat when an announcement came on... "Attention students and faculty we are on lockdown and should take appropriate action for Code 1" I didn't think too much of it untill Mr. Ward jumped out of his seat screamed "Everyone get in the corner NOW!" and ran to the door and locked it....at this point I'm thinking 'OK what in the heck is going on' so as we were all huddled in the corner Mr. Ward said "There is a shooter in the building...everyone needs to be quiet and stay on the ground"....at this point I texted my sister to make sure she was OK...when I didn't get an answer I started to freak out a little, but then I remembered that she had left her phone at home....

The next thing I did was I texted my friend Zack to let him know what was going on...

All I could think about was 'Could this really be the end?'

So after about 30 minutes or so they told us that they had cleared the building but not the area, so we were able to go to our 6th hour but we couldn't leave the building...

After another 30 minutes they caught the guy and everything was clear....


It turns out someone got shot near the school, and the shooter ran towards the school area. They thought that the shooter may have gone into the school so they put us on hardcore lockdown, once they cleared the school they searched the area and eventually caught the guy...

.....It was the longest most nerve racking hour of my life
