Eastern Kentucky University shut down the school for a week because of a threat made in graffiti on the bathroom wall. The threat said "KILL ALL BY 10/8/15 THIS BU OOP." They found the threat on Monday morning. The president of the school acknowledged, later that day, that the message had resembled the shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College. In a letter to the students and faculty, the president explained the decisions that were to be made. The letter stated that they were canceling classes and events so the law enforcement can conduct an investigation of the threat and make sure that it is safe.
I think that this is important because there are school shootings all the time now and we don't even think about them much anymore. What if that happened to our school? We wouldn't know what to do. I think that we need to make sure that our schools are safe and comfortable for the kids and make sure that there is no one out there trying to hurt anybody at the school.
Jensen, I agree with you. It's very hard to feel safe in schools now a days. I never heard of this story but it seems scary. There was just another shooting late last night.
ReplyDeleteI read a book about a school shooting and how people had no idea that how to react. I think that even though, school shootings happen all the time nowadays, if we were caught up in one, we would panic and not know what to do. It's scary af. I think that the schools need to take measures into training us to know what to do, especially us older kids, so we can try to help the younger ones.
