Our School Is Under "Lockdown"!

About an hour ago, we were told not to let any students out of the rooms, or to be in the halls, or to be in front of a window. The school was ordered under lockdown; apparently there is a hostage situation in the community nearby. I don't know any other details besides that. The Principal just announced that they were cancelling all after-school programs, but apparently they are going to let the bus students go home. I don't know about the ones who walk to and from school, or whose parents pick them up in the afternoons. I was fortunate that at about the time the lockdown was announced, the homeroom teacher whose kids were in my Art room came and got them, so at least I don't have a classroom full of anxious kids to deal with. I don't know if they're gonna let the teachers leave school or not, either, so there's no telling how long I could have to stay here.
