After taking tests in the morning, another student informed reporters that they had received the news while out for lunch in town. The student, who was crying, said, “It was just another day.”
There were several people racing around the courtyard while I was in the foyer, and I overheard someone brandishing a knife.
A third student said, “We weren’t sure if we should believe it.” “Then we noticed an IT guy yelling at us to leave the high school building while he held the door.”
