Another School Lockdown - Minnesota

[Scarecrow]

NEW PRAGUE, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota middle school is in lockdown and police are on the scene.
New Prague Mayor Chuck Nickolay confirms a "code red" at the city's middle school Wednesday morning but says he has no other information.
Scott County Sheriff Kevin Studnicka told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that law officers are trying to clear the schools. Studnicka says they've found no one hurt so far.
The Star Tribune reported the lockdown was prompted by a 911 call of an active shooter at the school. Studnicka didn't immediately return calls from The Associated Press.

I know this one is a middle school but with the reports out of IUPUI and Ball State recently with no arrests of alleged gun men does anyone else wonder if this is the new way to get out of class? If you pull a fire alarm or call in a fake bomb threat you will get in big trouble but if you mistake someone's sandwich for a gun then you were just being cautious.

There are well over 98,000 public school districts in the country, over 33,000 private schools, and over 4000 colleges/universities. DO WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT EVERY MINOR SCARE AT EVERY ONE? Good grief, folks.

Yep, this could very well be the new "bomb threat" excuse......

Actually no.. you don't.. very simple. Don't click the thread. Now you don't have to hear about it.

No from you personally, scarecrow. From everyone in general (the media, and anyone who feels the need to copy/paste).

We get it. Stuff may or may not be happening somewhere. The hysteria is a tad out of control.

Amazing.... Harry Reid informs Feinstein that the Assault Weapons Ban won't be part of the Senate proposal and now we get a rash of school lockdowns?

Coincidence?

When I worked at an RV factory in Wakarusa, we had a guy call in with a bomb threat because he was going to be late. 3 times in a week! He was caught from video at the gas station with the pay phone he used.

We here in FtW had a lockdown when a rhino escaped from the zoo...

It was DiFi calling!

(I was going to put that in purple but it could be true!)

Oh I agree. Unfortunately I think this beast feeds itself. The more "gun threats" there are, the more they want to report it, the more it happens. Vicious circle

This has to be an organized effort to creat false hysteria.

Who is on the enemy's radio traffic?

Ta Da!

Incite fear, incite panic...... Incite the masses to ask to be made safe!
