where he was. were you safe. is your friend safe. and it was chaos. how long were you on the lock down, what were you seeing and hearing? i was probably on lock down for about an hour. maybe ten minutes. it started with a few pops in the beginning. maybe about two. and i didn t really think much of it as we normally have pops of chip bags opening at lunch or throwing something on the floor. and i actually had one of my friends run to the classroom from usingth bathroom in the fourth period. and he was frantically screaming there was a shooter. and that he could be close. we all were just kind of startled and then once the fire drill alarm was pulled, we knew this wasn t a joke anymore.
