Our School Is Under "Lockdown"! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

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.
