First real lockdown scare for me. My daughter is at New River CC for
Governors School. Got an email simply saying that New River Community College is on lockdown and to stay away.
Ok, I got a little worried.
Next I heard it was because of a report of a gunman on campus.
Now I’m scared.
Texted daughter and no response.
Fortunately our school resource officer here with the Blacksburg PD was here and I talked to him. He said it was a called in threat and they had a major police response but it didn’t seem credible.
So I felt relieved.
Still took 2hrs to finally hear from my daughter. Her response?
“I’m good. It was just really boring sitting in a corner in silence for two hours. “
Stressful.

but it doesn't. Especially with scares like that.

That must have been an excruciatingly stressful few hours for all involved.

at my granddaughter's school. I guess after Stoneman Douglass they changed a lot of things. We went to her open house before school started and were informed that would be the last time we would be on campus. The whole place is fenced and gated, and there is always a marked deputy car parked out front. I'm really appreciative of that effort, but still...so, so, sad. Glad your daughter is OK. What a nightmare for you.

Wouldn't think they would prevent her from texting back to say she's OK.

And humorous attitude after such an agonizing couple of hours. Kudos to you for raising a level headed young lady.
