[108] Just got out of district-wide lockdown

Holy…shit. As if yesterday's blog wasn't epic enough.

My entire school district just got released from a district-wide lockdown. A man was spotted carrying a pistol near the other high school across town. We sat in a steaming hot English classroom on the second floor with no openable windows or air conditioning for <strong>two hours</strong>. We were locked in with nothing to do but watch the news on TV and listen to the news on the radio.

They haven't yet caught the suspect, but he's said to be "a Native American man, about 5-foot-eight, with a white hoodie." And a handgun, but they didn't decide to mention that.

I expect this kind of thing is happening all over the country…it <em>is</em> almost Columbine's anniversary, and the Virginia thing is apparently spawning copycat crimes now.

Oh, and our school district superiors are being complete douchebags. We all missed our lunch periods, and the day's more than halfway over, but instead of letting us get out of school early, we get to <em>go back to class after a shortened lunch break</em>. Fuck that, I'm heading home. I've only got Gym class left anyways.

So…yeah. If you want to read about the incident, <a href="http://www.kotatv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6381737" target="_blank">here's a news article</a> from <a href="http://www.kotatv.com" target="_blank">our local news network's website</a>. Anyways, I'm out.

<strong>EDIT:</strong> What the fuck? I posted YESTERDAY. I demand front page-itude.
