[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BCC student is reporting that there was a man in the school today with a firearm. There is a recording that is circulating among students. They are all really shaken up. [/quote]

My BCC student hasn’t heard this at all. There were/are so many rumors flying around, including on this thread (about it being the same student from Monday, etc.), that turned out not to be true.[/quote]

Your student should ask around. My son has video of men with bullet proof vests and helmets and some seriously large guns (I'm sorry - I'm not a gun expert) coming into a classroom.
Kids were sitting at their desks while I assume these police were sweeping the room. I'm not against what the police were doing - just reporting what was happening. 
I believe it was the AP Spanish exam.

The parent who copied the BCC listsrv on his letter to county council members also included a photo of a different police officer carrying his weapon.

I can assure you that these are not rumors and most of us would assume police are armed in a situation like this.

We've got two problems on our hands:
1) Kids are a little shaken by what happened today and the police presence 
2) Kids are desensitized to all of this and we have another problem on our hands

Some junior at BCC was on Fox laughing about it all. He tried to compose himself after the reporter mentioned his laughing. He was probably a bad choice for the interview but he reflects a certain group who were probably more excited about school closing and are used to these types of events at BCC.
