thank you. my kid is being characteristically monosyllabic |
Okay. Glad to hear UVA/Charlottesville police are on top of it. |
| Prayers this ends with no loss of life. |
| From Fb, appears he hit a car and then fled on foot. |
| Per the latest update - suspect is currently in the Lewis Mtn neighborhood. I appreciate UVA's prompt communication and abundance of caution. Parents should join UVA's emergency alert to receive real time text updates - info was shared at parent orientation. Students know the situation and don't seem to be afraid. There was a massive Snarty (a snow day, day party) when classes were cancelled 2 weeks ago, and this morning a student posted "Sharty (a shelter in place Darty)?" |
