So me and my class are just sitting around talking at the end of the school day. It was 5 minutes until the bell rang and we would have been free. Just then, our principle comes on the loudspeaker and tells us the school is going into lockdown and noone can leave. We were all pissed. While we were sitting in there I started getting texts saying what was happening, apperantly some guy was having an armed stand-off with police a few blocks away. It we were in school for an extra half hour past the time we should have gotten out.
After I finally got out, me and a couple of friends drove to the scene where this all happened. Apperantly SWAT was called in and when they went to breach the house the gunman shot himself, ending the stand-off. This was our citys first barricaded stand-off in awhile.
