[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a parent and I’m enraged. When will MCPS acknowledge that there is something seriously wrong at BCC? The number of incidents we’ve had this year is not normal, and MCPS needs to take action.[/quote]

Enlighten us. What action will prevent a bomb threat?

A bomb threat would clear the building, not have the school go into lockdown, I think. It's probably a weapons threat. [/quote]

Exactly. Why would they keep people inside? And the students/staff/proctors/volunteers who were just returning from lunch or arriving for afternoon testing and were close to the building were rushed INSIDE, told to run to nearest room/gym. [/quote]

They initially thought there was a situation in the area, outside of the school, so they brought people inside and declared a shelter in place, which quickly became a lockdown. The threat was that there were bombs in the school and that the caller was hiding in a school bathroom with an AR-15. And he stayed on the phone with the main office and police for a while. That’s what made it different from the bomb threats to other schools.  This wasn’t a bomb threat made on social media or a situation where they can easily evacuate the building. My child was in the building. It was a terrifying situation. Kids were listening to the police dispatch in real time. [/quote]
