Just got a message from my child’s school. Man with gun in custody, school still on modified lockdown. Why?

Are you asking why the school is still in lockdown?

After VA Tech, wouldn’t you want the school to complete a thorough investigation, make sure the perp was acting alone, didn’t leave any bombs or other threats, etc?

I work at a college and have two children attending colleges. That’s what the emergency text notification system is about.

I’m not quite sure what you are questioning, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

I also don’t see the need to immediately release a school’s emergency text msg to the public while it is still an emergent situation. Just what you need, parents, busybodies and the press calling or coming when the institution is still at the point of assessing the situation and trying to make sure everyone is safe.
