[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure this is a very naive question but why didn’t anyone hear the gunshot? The victim was found in the bathroom not that someone heard the gunshot?[/quote]
I was wondering the same. The only thing I could think of was that it happened during transition time when it's fairly loud in the hallway. But, IDK.  It's a good question.[/quote]

Schools have very solid walls and doors.  A gun shot would sound a lot like slamming a door in your house outside and far from the bathroom.   Double so if you are in classroom with thick walls.  I didn't hear it all in the building.  None of my students did.

+1 One shot would not have gotten much attention. People would have attributed the noise to normal causes. If the gun was up against the victim, the sound would have been muffled.

I’m not understanding though why the initial 911 call didn’t relay a sense of urgency. Someone needs to release the 911 tape that the school made. Did the security guard call 911 or did he radio the front office and they called 911? It seemed like EMS and the police were caught off guard initially at the severity of the incident.[/quote]

Agree, and reading those details is quite shocking. [/quote]
