Lockdown

Today was a very scary day!
Yesterday, a threat was found in a stall in a boy's bathroom at my school that said: "I am going to kill myself and take people down with me." And it gave Friday as the date. This morning the principal made an announcement about it saying that it was not credible. Then, while I was at lunch, a bunch of staff members came in, told us to drop our food and go to the auditorium. A few minutes later, the principal made an announcement that we were in a Code Red Lockdown. A while later, someone's mom (who works at the school) texted her and told her that the reason for the lockdown was that they found two more notes. One said "good luck" and the other said "the shooting starts at 12:00." We were locked down for three hours without any updates. Everyone was very scared, especially since the principal did not give us any information. For three hours we had nothing to do but sit and talk. My friends and I said a prayer that everything would be okay. There were SWAT teams, police officers and security guards everywhere.After looking at the security tapes, the police took out all of the boys who had gone into the bathroom that day, questioned them and went through their stuff. When we finally got out, at about 2:30, 75% of the school had not eaten lunch. No one had bathrooms except us in the auditorium. Police officers lined the hallways, and outside 159th street was full of cars of parents. You could barely drive down it. We were never told whether or not the person was found or anything. All after-school activities were cancelled, but there will be school tomorrow; however, many people refuse to go. It was all very scary!
