This is my 15 year old son David's school. They had a a half day today. He is not among the injured. I am told it happened in Spanish class. This kid pulled out two knifes and started slashing. Eight kids have been hurt and sent to the hospital. The school is currently on lock down. We have no metal detectors at the school. Police are on scene investigating. My hands are shaking and I am a nervous wreck, but my son is ok. Thank God.

pj, I am so glad to hear your son is okay. That must be the scariest thing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire community.
Thank God your son is OK.
Thanks God your son is okay. Hang in there, it's going to work out.
I am thankful your son is OK! Hugs to you and thankful prayers going up.
(Prayers going out for the other kids too).
Very glad to hear your son is unharmed. Such a frightening experience! You have many blessings to appreciate for Thanksgiving. Take care.
I'm glad your son is OK. Have you managed to get your heart out of your thoat yet.
Prayers for the injured.
Pattyjo, I'm so glad your son is alright. I'd be a nervous wreck as well! Your son must be feeling some anxiety too. He'll be in my prayers!
I am somehow, just not surprised.
hugs to you and prayers as well...the world is a scary place.
Oh my! Prayers for steady nerves after this Patty. Thank God your son is safe. The kids are getting more and more out of control. When will the adults decide to clamp down? We had a gun incident in our little backwater town recently. And a 16 year old shot a deputy who came to his friend's house just to talk to them. The deputy looks as if he will recover, but it was bad.
I was told that, as a homeschooler, I was denying my kids exposure to "real life" lessons and that they would be unable to deal with normal, adult things when they were older. This is not "real life". This is not the reality that most adults face. This is a crime. This is terrorism and abuse.
I am so sorry that your family (and the hundreds of other families) have to deal with this. Prayers for the injured children and prayers for your family.
PattyJo,
I'm sorry that you have and continue to go through this...you and all the parents, teachers especially the students are in my prayers. Will you update me on what steps the school will take to make it more secure?
My disabled daughter goes to school in Long Island. Some guys in a van have been abducting children close to her school. When you can't teach values you get the opposite. They have the ACLU on their side. Stay strong
Great news about David. Was the perp in trouble previously?
