Hm. Has this ever happened at your school? Options

Hey.
I'm just wondering if there have ever been serious gun threats at any of your schools.

Ever since the Columbine shooting, my school has had minor, minor threats around this time of the year.

But ever since the more recent Red Lake (Minnesota) shooting occured, there have been a few constant threats. We live very close to Red Lake, might I add.

So ever since about the end of last week, there had been a crapload of rumors going around about some chick having a hit list and all. No one thought much of it.

Then on Tuesday (yesterday), my school was on the local news and front paper. Apparently, those rumors were very true. The girl had deleted the list though, but she had a list compiled of people that she was going to shoot on April 20th, which is the anniversary of the Columbine shootings and is also Hiter's birthday. The list mainly had eighth and ninth graders on it, and the people on there were so-called "preps" and "poser goths." I'm not saying they are or aren't, I'm just repeating what I've heard.

Anyway, she's currently at the local mental institution, but not for the list and all, because as of right now, there isn't any complete proof that the list existed, although a lot of us had seen it. I saw it on her site, but I didn't read it. I didn't think anything of it. I wish I did though.

Anyway, she's at the mental institution because apparently she cut herself during class a few times. On the hand, tongue, and leg.

I'm sort of getting off-track...

Has your school ever had any gun threats before?
If yes, were they minor or major?

We've been having cops monitoring the hallways since a day or two after the Red Lake shooting. Now we're doing daily "security" drills.

I'm not worried. I was a bit paranoid today, but I wasn't on the list, and she's not going to be back for the rest of the year, so yeah. A lot of people are skipping school on April 20th.

Yes. She had a huge list compiled, and this is the first serious gun threat my school has ever had. She basically had anyone on her list that ever had a problem with her. She got a lot of shit from people for literally no reason, so yeah. I believe she was serious. I wouldn't be going to school on April 20th if she wasn't currently away from school.
