#shorecrest

An hour into school, we were put under lockdown due to an external threat in the school district. The whole district was shut down, and for the schools that had already started, they were placed under lockdown. We were kept in our class rooms until 11 when we were released for the day to go home where we were safer. Most of us thought it was a drill, that is until our parents started calling us to make sure we were ok. At our school we had two Police officers, both armed with their normal issued pistols, as well as AR-15's at the main entrance of the building to make sure we were all well protected. The shoreline high schools are the two safest places to be in the district if there is a lock down due to the new security system that was installed when the new buildings were made. We were very lucky that no one was hurt, and in the time spent in lock down we really got a chance to get to know our class mates better, and convince our teacher to play charades with us which got pretty interesting.
