Holy fucking shit, he was inside for 40 minutes and the cops were afraid to go in!

107. This isn't recent. I live in Florida. We had a shooting at my school in 2008

I graduated high school in 2010. We actually had a school shooting in 2008. One student, a girl, was shot and killed. I just met this girl maybe a few weeks prior to the shooting. The shooter, another girl that also attended our school, brought a small handgun to school specifically to shoot this girl. I remember I was at lunch in the cafeteria when it happened, and the school went into lock down. They told us to stay in the cafeteria, students were told to remain in classrooms and teachers were told to lock their classroom doors. We had no idea what happened or why we were in lock down. Once they let us out of the we can see the area right in front of the building where it happened had the yellow tape, and the girl who had been shot, her backpack was still on the ground. I remember it pretty vividly. It was on the news, and the next day we had news helicopter hovering over the school as we were participating in an impromptu memorial for the victim. My mother asked me was I scared to go back to school.

My high school had 10 buildings (that I can remember), and 8 of them had classrooms. Of the 8 buildings with classrooms, 2 of them are buildings with the double-door main entrances with classrooms that open to an interior hallway that can be locked down. All other buildings, the stairwells, halls and corridors were on the exterior. The classroom doors for the other buildings led to exterior halls. Maybe recently, they have closed and limited the walkthrough entrances in the gates.
