[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Discovery elementary went on lockdown but never told parents. Apparently Williamsburg right next-door never went on lockdown. WMS Kids were walking home (past discovery) while discovery was on lockdown. Makes no sense. [/quote]

APS shitshow. [/quote]

They weren’t on lockdown. They were on secure the school- very different. Class continues as normal when in secure the school, they just don’t let people in and out. Obviously they decided that the threat was removed enough that WMS could dismiss as normal. [/quote]

An awful lot of WMS parents were pretty upset that they just released students to roam the neighborhood while evacuating Yorktown and putting Discovery in lock-down.[/quote]

Yorktown wasn’t evacuated when WMS let out, it was under lockdown with a massive security presence keeping pedestrians far away. WMS students were likely much safer today than they are on the average school day.[/quote]

Friends of mine with kids at Yorktown got texts from their kids that they were being evacuated right before Williamsburg released.  And if there was definitely no threat, why lock down Discovery?  Obviously nothing happened in the end, but you can’t blame Williamsburg parents for being upset at the time that their kids were released while Yorktown was in lockdown, people were at least preparing to evacuate, and no one knew what the eff was going on.[/quote]
