My school was threatened with a shooting.

I live in the UK, a country clever enough to completely illegalise guns.

Actually that's a terrible idea because then the only ones who have weapons are the criminals, which makes it pretty hard to defend oneself.

In any event, the school shooting threats are generally just attention-whores and people who want to get out of class, but you can't afford to dismiss it as such. It's certainly a sticky situation.

when I was in 5th grade just before 6th grade. there was a bomb threat at the middle school I was gonna enter. but later, it was fake. when my friends heard about the bomb threat, they were like "cool, now we don't have to go to school anymore! " and I was like "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! "
