Held Hostage

Everything at school was going fine today... until about 2:00. Our Principal, and I honestly don't know his name even after all these years, came on to tell us about the current situation in town. Apparently someone had locked themselves in their house and "had a gun." Because of that our school went onto a "Code Yellow" alert. We couldn't leave even at the normal time. I was being "held hostage" in my own school.
This went on for nearly 3 hours (for myself). Some left early, and a few are still to leave. I have a massive headache and it feels good to breath cool air again. My school does not have a functional air conditioner in every room. The humidity was nearly unbearable, and you couldn't leave unless it was an bathroom "emergency," like they know the definition of one... I seriously think that these were completely unneccesary precations, and it is disgusting that this is what we have come to.
The guy had locked himself inside of his own house! I did later learn that he had a hostage, but why would he leave his house to shoot at the possible single school bus that takes the route through his road? To take someone hostage already is questionable, but to shoot a school bus is just plain insane.
I'll look out in the news for this guy. He better not get off, with all of his unintentional victims and all.

Wow. The keeping you in school and all thing was truely pointless. In "dangerous" situations, the idea is to get people out of the danger! Not keep them where they are in harms way. Besides, It's called an "alternate route!"
I'm just wondering, is it possible the bus could of gone on a different road to drop off the kids?

SuperStormer also saw it on the news since he lives fairly close to me... he saw a friend of mine named Kevin. SuperStormer thought his hair was funny.

I didn't get to miss school in anyway. What happened was that they kept us in school for 3 or more extra hours.
Also, you know nothing about me if you think that I'd play calculator games... been a ticalc.org member since 2001 and if I was using one of my calculators, it would be for programming. Most games are overrated anyway. I haven't had time to finish Final Conflict/Escape from Sobibor anyway.
