Anna O Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 This post has been flagged with warnings, as follows: Death, Suicide, Violence Click this notice to reveal the content. Someone that I don’t know committed suicide with a gun yesterday (on school property). Today I overslept and everyone was worried that I was affected by what happened but I don’t even know who died. It turns out it was a good thing that I wasn’t at school today because there was a lockdown for a gun threat. I feel really scared even though I am not there but I don’t want to go back if there have been guns on school grounds for two days in a row. I would go to counseling about this but the school counselors are probably already overwhelmed by people who are at school today. I feel like I can’t get the support I need because I wasn’t there when the lockdown happened. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to tag in @Monsoon and @Aurora, so that they can help you, and I'd like to let you know that there are phone numbers you can call. 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna O Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 So it turns out the lockdown was part of the nationwide swatting problem which basically just means that people essentially prank call local emergency services and provide a fake scenario and a real location for them to respond to. I am so mad right now. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
