I was driving to school today and had to pull over for an ambulance, and didnt think twice about it. when i got to school there were police cars and ambulances out front. as soon as i entered the building everyone was herded into the cafeteria, and rumors flew around that someone was stabbed. a police officer came in to say that there was an "unfortunate incident" and then would need anyone who saw anything to come to the front of the room to be interviewed.
we were moved to the gym, and the teachers, superintendent and officers wouldnt say anything but very general statements. from what i heard one guy stabbed another in the bathroom before school, although no one knew who it was or even what grade they were in. he was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead at around 8 today. from what I heard the person who stabbed the other student was a senior, and the student who was killed was in some sort of outreach or special education program. what was strange was, the superintendent didnt even know who it was who was killed, so everything i've heard has been from other students. around 10 everyone was let out. a friend of mine had called CNN on his cell phone, so there was a crowd of people with cameras across the street.
things like this never happen at my school. the irony is that the police just had a drill at my school on wednesday after school, and had a mock lockdown with assault rifles.
It's the third death this year, but the first murder that I know of in the history of the school. a girl I had known who went to Tufts this year committed suicide around november. a little while later, a guy who had been in a special education program and had transfered out of the school was killed.
from what i've heard this is already on the national news, and i've received phone calls from relatives and friends about it. although, the news stations seem to be even less reliable than school rumors, they're searching for things to say like "the person who committed the stabbing was a goth".
its currently a headline on CNN, although the article doesn't say much at all - which is probably better than the writer trying to search for things to say and being wrong
its also a headline on boston.com, which says that the person stabbed was a freshman. that's news to me. that means so far i've heard it was a senior, junior, sophomore and freshman from different sources. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/cit...grader_st.html
huh, CNN and nytimes have basically the same text, except NYtimes interviewed some girl I know. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/A...-Stabbing.html
a while ago I was talking to my housemaster about something unrelated. he said no one had ever actually died at the school, and that that was what he had to try to prevent; it was ultimately the worst thing that could happen.
