Well, if nothing else, it proved that all those mass evacuation drills/lock downs actually do work.

He probably just found out about it through age regression therapy.

Glad he didn't do this next monday... I have dodgeball at Glenbrook, and that would have really screwed with my schedule!

...oh, uh, and yay on the kids being safe too.

S.W. Calgary is a harbinger for this kind of activity!!! Assuming A.E. Cross is even in the SW, I probably should have checked into that first?

While she was in the school office, a man walked in and demanded to see the principal -- then brandished a knife when he was told the principal wasn't available.

Bernard would have taken him down...BOOO YAH!!!

so if this guy is 25, was in junior high in the year 2000, he either started late or failed a grade or two, no wonder I didn't recognize him as I was in High School on the other side of the SW at the time. That and the comment about which junior high he actually attended.

That's my old school.. The guy was one year younger than me and looks familiar. Scary though, but i'm not surprised. That school is a hole.

What do you need a name for? I think he'd be easy to spot in a yearbook considering we know what he looks like from the news photos
