Last Friday, there was a lockdown at Jake & Marissa's high school. Actually, they locked down the entire school district. Apparently, an upset former student left his family a note saying that he was going to kill his girlfriend and then go to the school and kill himself. The family did the responsible thing and told the authorities. Since the authorities didn't know which school, they locked them all down.
Jake was in the school. He got locked in. Marissa was in early-morning seminary. She got locked out. She went to a friend's house not far from the high school and called me to tell me where she was. Eventually, school officials cancelled school for the day. Jake missed one of his college classes because of the lockdown.
As I was driving to get Marissa at the friend's house, we passed the school. There was an ambulance and a fire truck between the high school and the nearby middle school. Later, the news reported that the upset former student's body was found in the fields between the two schools. Luckily, no one else was hurt.
