Second Day of School, Second Day of School!

I hope my "Finding Nemo" reference is coming through in the titles! Any how...
Lock Down




That is right, second day of school... and there was a lock down! That is so comforting isn't it!?! There was some crazy guy a mile or so away that killed someone and was pointing guns at police officers. He had a massive arsenal in his house, major stockpile of guns and ammo...complete with armor piercing bullets. First he ran from police, then there was a standoff and finally police shot him in the shoulder and took him down.
All joking aside I am glad that there are systems in place to lock down schools and keep the kids safe. The police responded very quickly to the schools and placed officers and troopers all around to protect the kids.
Ellery and Bailey were a little weary. I guess there was a kid in Ellery's class that totally freaked out and shouted that they were going to die! Ellery said he was "annoying" The funny thing is, they had just completed a lock down drill shortly before the real thing came along.
So a great start to the year!! Ah!!!

So sad that the kids have to have "lock-down" drills. Do you remember being in elementary school and having "nuclear blast drills". haha like anything would save you from a nuclear blast. How funny.
