I did see a news van in front of Roosevelt, but why is this really “news” worthy? Aren’t you subscribed to news alerts of some sort. No one was injured or killed.


I heard a parent was caught in the crossfire and barely missed getting hit -- bullet hit an empty carseat.

That sounds pretty crazy and upsetting, and newsworthy.


OMG! Imagine if that carseat was occupied? Thank goodness it was not.

That's different though. Many of the lockdowns talked about upthread are related to simple police activity in the vicinity. What happened today is an actual (horrible and terrible) shooting at the school.

Per a MPD press release Powell and Roosevelt were put on lockdown as well for a time.


Oh, so the Bancroft lockdown was related to that one?


Yes. Neighborhood near the school. Not an immediate threat to the school.

Just got a tweet from Ward 1 Education that there was a lockdown at Bancroft but has been lifted. I'm presuming everyone is OK. Does anyone know what happened? All of these school shootings have gotten me jittery.
