Armed gunman at my school today!! Police and Swat raided the school

Today my school had an oktoberfest event (which I DJed at) and during the last band... we had some police come with shotguns and stuff, and everyone had to evacuate onto the field. we had no idea what was going on, but there was supposedly a student with a handgun or something.

The Canadian equivalant to the SWAT team came. They came in some truck, and they were all geared up and had machine guns .. and they stormed the school and did a check.

They tracked the guy to his house, and arrested him there.

On the news later that night I found out who it was, and it was a guy I know. Appearently he had been loading a gun in school and someone saw him and called the police.

I knew this guy alittle, played cards withhim before.. he seemed like a pretty good guy. He used to wear a bullet proof vest to school.. and he had been shot before and showed me his bullet wound.

Well.. was an interesting day. And now Im tired.

anything like this happen to you guys? I know it happens more frequently than I might think.. but generally my school is pretty safe. ah well.

They didnt bring a swat team or bomb squad when my school had a bomb threat last year, so they must have really taken this gun threat pretty seriously, and perhapse they had some other kind of information that we, the students, didnt know about.

I think they realized that he wasnt in the school, and thats why they tracked him to his house, but did a routine sweep of the school anyways, just incase he was storing stuff there.

in 9th grade a riot broke out in my school. In the weeks leading up there had been more tension than usual between the armenians and mexicans, and finally everyone went apeshit, and we had to get evacuated, they called in riot control is was scarey as hell.

I'm jealous, sounds like fun.

Posted by evil_bastard on Oct-12-2002 12:55:

Sounds very professional...

Wouldn't it make more sense to raid the school and the home at the same time?

Otherwise he'd have a chance to flee.

i think im a bit mor elucky in england since guns are easier to get ahold of in america.

October 11th, 2002

Dear Parents/Guardians:

This afternoon just before 1:00p.m. a student notified a teacher of a student who was believed to have a weapon. Police were called immedialtely by the Admin as a precaution. The school was evacuated at the direction of the police.

Police subsequently have arrested a young person. This is believed to be an isolated incident.

We pride ourselves in maintaining a safe school and we have no reason to believe this is going to change. We are gratedful for the cooperation of the York Regional Police.

During this situation, the students of Unionville High school behaved conscientiously and appropriately.

If Parents have any concersn, please call a member of the school admin.

Sincerely

Gayle Brocklebank -Vincent
