Columbine

As the story is being reported all over the media parents of the children are starting to prepare themselves for either the good or bad news. As time of the day passes on more and more kids show up to designated areas whether it be at another school, or still somewhere on school grounds, but as more children show up the police start their investigations to find some idea in who was responsible for all this. Friends that were close to Eric and Dylan were starting to put some of the pieces together and are coming to a conclusion that they may be responsible for all that has happened. Even though they were going on with their interviews there were still students stuck inside the school, it was still one o'clock in the afternoon at that time.
Kate Battan was the lead investigator in this whole thing, and on repeated times she has heard the names Eric and Dylan being responsible. She then sent patrol cares to each of their homes. Eric's parents were uncooperative but on the other hand Dylan's parents were really cooperative and answered anything they needed and let them check his room. Still back at Columbine they were still loading students into the buses, but as time goes on the bus departures are dwindling down and some of the parents hope are lowering. As students are sent home ones that are close to Eric and Dylan start to think of things that could have lead to them knowing what they were up too. Robyn, was a close friend to them she was also interested in Dylan so when they had invited her to go to a gun show she went. When they were there the boys had found some automatics that they had like but were unable to purchase because they were underage, but since Robyn was with them they were able to make the purchase they needed.
A guy named Chirs Morris had called the cops within the hour when he suspected his friends to be responsible for this. He mentioned how Eric had an interest in explosives and how he would make jokes about cutting the power off from the school and setting bombs throughout all the exits. He had also mentions too the cops how Dylan had brought a bomb into work to show him, but he had ordered them to take it off the premises right away, also he said that they had gone gun shooting but didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. As the cops at the school are preparing to go in to look for more hostages or even the killers, they soon find the news that the gun men had committed suicide. They had killed themselves knowing they would be in serious trouble and that it would not be worth it.
If this was to happen at Homestead I think a lot of us would freak out and just try to leave and unaware of the danger and how it would be better to get somewhere and hide. I would not want to have to be in this big mess and fear my life. A school should be highly aware of what is brought in. Just like at Concordia Lutheran that time a kid stabbed another kid during lunch period. It's not as drastic as to what had happened at Columbine, but it is still something that should not happen, granite they can not keep up with as many students as what we have but they should still be aware as to what students are doing or may do.
