Student Found Dead at Miami-Dade School

MIAMI - A student was found dead Tuesday at a middle school and the school was locked down.

The death at Southwood Middle School appeared to be "unnatural," Miami-Dade County police said.

Police Sgt. Pete Andreu said students were locked in their classrooms, but they were not believed to be in danger.

Dozens of worried parents gathered outside the school.

Andreu said he had no further information. Miami-Dade County School's spokesman John Schuster said he also had no details.

Southwood, which opened in 1976, was the county's first magnet school, specializing in visual and performing arts for students in grades six, seven and eight, according to its Web site. The building has a capacity of 1,375 students and the Web site said it was operating above capacity.

"Every student in this school is safe" Villafana said.

Well, every student except that one that's DEAD. Honestly I can't understand why some people speak the way they do.

This was first reported as no murder. Later it was said someone was in custody for killing the 14 yr old. Wish the damn media would get themselves together!
