INBOX: “An incident in a classroom
involved an extremely loud noise”

A KNOXVILLE parent tells us these👇🏽were the emails received by West High families after a gun went off in a backpack, “grazing” a teacher.

Eventually they let kids out early after “medium lockdown”.

8. Now every time I see this type of thing I do a double cringe...

Because there were more than a few teachers at the school I used to work at who were already 'packing' although not because of the student body, but because of 'undesirables' that frequented a main drag a few blocks over from us. There was a car break-in once about six years before I started there so of course everyone there was convinced that there were hordes of homeless street people lurking around all the time. These are the people that scare me. The ones that think they need to be better protected when there is nothing to be protected from. These people are the ones that 'find' reasons to protect. In most instances, these are the same people who have a high reputation in the community... usually because of their income. (This was a private school... the faculty did alright there.)

Anyway, I am now just waiting to read that it was my old school. Seeing the word 'Tennessee' is bad enough, but if I see 'Nashville', I start to feel very panicked. (Yes, I know this was not in Nashville.)
