630. 630, I was about to call you. Are there any shots still coming around out there? Because we're getting another ticket for the shots. No shots, we got one in custody. There's no active shooter, uh, read on anything like that. 10-4, and we have you with one in custody. It's 856 for your time. 909.

I'm a parent at I I'm a parent of a student at this school. The school is fine. It's the children . This could have happened at any school. The gun was found by security before entering the school. Be grateful they did their jobs and protecting my child

This school is literally blocks from me and it just seemed like since I’ve been in this area it’s always something going on up there. My child will most definitely not go to the high school when he graduates thank God, the staff jumped in quick for the safety of everyone really sad that schools are not safe for our children.
