The high school is not on lockdown. Parents are arriving to check on their children, but parents are being asked to be patient.

Well here in our town we have had 5 bomb threats at THREE different schools here in the last 8 days and nobody's caring about us. They caught the guy who made 3 threats at the high school, but AFTER he was already in jail another threat was made at the middle school and junior high so he obviously has cronies. I guess since nobody died nobody cares about us.

so what is being done about it? is it that expensive to install metal detectors or have more security? why is the government so concerned about military spending when the "homeland" has so many internal problems?

It's so sad, especially when there was another school shooting not even a week ago at a different high school here. I guess I never realized how truly bad it is here in Memphis, I sort of had my blinders on.
