Southbridge Middle/High School in the Boston area was locked
down for more than an hour on the
afternoon of Wednesday, November 4th, after students reported seeing
a weapon. The building was put into “shelter-in place” lockdown while armed
police searched the premises. No weapon was found. Sources say that a student
was “waving a stapler,” and other students mistook it for a gun.
Police
stated that all students and staff were safe and that there was no “immediate”
danger. The school was cleared shortly before 3 p.m. and students were
dismissed.
Officials
admitted that they can’t predict with certainty what might happen in the future
if a student is spotted with a ruler or, Heaven forbid, a hole-puncher. One
student reportedly wet himself when he spotted a letter-opener on a teacher’s
desk.
Incredibly,
at present, office supplies can still be legally sold and owned in
Massachusetts, though there is a 3-day waiting period for the purchase of
scissors.
