earlier this year, I was sitting in my fifth period French class, trying to decide which conjugation I should use for the verb 'etre' for my assignment, and our principal, Mr. Dolan, comes on the announcements and says that the school is now going into lockdown, and that this is not a drill. My French teacher was really upset about this(and who wouldn't, there could be psycho shooting up the school), and she was almost crying, and all thirty of us were shoved into the furthest corner from any windows or doors, which was really cramped, and she pretty much forced us to pray. About forty minutes later, Mr. Dolan came back on the PA system, and said that we could leave the building, and that the police had found who they were looking for, and that no one got hurt.
After school, I was talking to my friend Josh, and he said that it was a bomb threat made by one of the students. This student apparently made a bomb and was going to blow up the school, but he told one of his friends, and she told the principal. The senior student was arrested and expelled. But about a week later, my older brother, who knows this student, told me that all the "bomb" was a broken iPod taped to a water bottle. So obviously it was just a joke gone wrong, and he was let back at school.
I thought it was really stupid of him, considering that he's graduating this year, and causing a lockdown(even as a joke) won't impress universities or colleges.
