My daughter sent me a text message this morning stating she could hear someone yelling in the hall outside of her classroom. Two minutes later I got another text that she could see police officers with guns pulled and some had shields. Another text followed just saying "if anything happens, I love you."

It is an incredibly gut-wrenching feeling to read it in real time, knowing there isn't anything I could do in that moment. I am beyond thankful it was only a hoax and that she will be walking through the door at some point today.

I will say that the emergency response time was excellent. Several police departments were brought in, essentially all hands on deck.
