RE: "Mom, there's an active shooter in school"
OMG I stopped breathing as I read. I am so happy everyone was okay, considering the situation.
Living in Israel, you get numb to it. There was a "suspicious object" at a bus station nearby a few weeks back. Someone left a backpack. Street was evacuated and the bomb squad had a robot "disarm" it. It's a regular thing. We don't even bother to stop and look anymore. Just walk around the barricade.
I've had friends die in terror acts. It's horrifying to realize how much violence and pain and hate there is in the world.
Here, a cyberhug
:hug:
There was a backpack left on my train last year. We were stuck in a tunnel for hours. Couldn't even be evacuated. No bathrooms. Until the bomb squad finally found it was schoolbooks...
This happens here on a weekly basis. We're practiced at it. Also, there can't be a "suspicious object" on the train as all baggage is xrayed. Knowing this, a terrorist tried to get into the train station in my town. He beeped in the metal detector. The security guard stopped him physically, realizing something was off, and then the terrorist went "boom".
They renamed the station after said security guard.
I heard the boom from home, about 2 kilometers away.
Why is the world like this? :(
