Active Shooter at the Prep

[Yazz]

Someone didn't study for a test!

Mr. O'Loughlin! Absolute GOAT.

YES! Absolutely great man, and scary when he needed to be lol. Sounds like you could have been there during the corvette era as well. I'm class of '06

How many kids are taking tests after school was dismissed?

Yup, '08.

A month of school left - then the PDs can do their active shooter drills in the empty schools.

False alarm. Looks to be a swatting call. Damn, there's some bigtime asshats out there.

No school today after officer 'accidentally' fires weapon amid school swatting response

Police said a responding officer accidentally discharged a weapon, which elevated the situation from a normal swatting response to an actual active shooter situation.

Both St. John’s Prep in Danvers and Boston College High School in Dorchester were the subject of active shooter reports Monday, although police said no threats were found at either location.

Reports of active shooters at St. John's Prep, BC High; no threats immediately found

Easiest way to delay your final exam tests you didn't study for. Old trick from the lazy and un-motivated playbook .

 

[Matt_SERE]

Ah, shit! As reported by WFXT News.

An officer had a ND with his firearm in a bathroom which, in turn, created a larger police response.

Unconfirmed report of an officer's gun "going off." Must be those damn Sigs again.

My Alma Mater. Always hoped Hardiman would never have to mutter the special code. Well, get your shit now folks, there's a ton of money at that school that is going to be breathing down Healy's neck to pass anything and everything.

Glad to hear everyone’s ok.

Sorry you couldn’t go to a real school like I did, Xaverian

Never heard of it

Couldn't get into BC High?

My wife went to Archbishop Williams, I went to BC High. I give her shit about Archies and then she makes fun of me for going to school with all boys. BC High, BC Low... Circle of Life.

Danvers PD confirms one of their officers had an "accidental" discharge during the search. For us civilians, that would be a negligent discharge and likely loss of LTC.

I'm sure they'll find some legislation which will fix this since this is the first actual school shooting in MA...

Sadly, it’s not. In 1992 Wayne Lo killed 2 and injured 4 at Simon’s Rock.

"The initial response was a threat of a person threatening to cause harm in one of the men's rooms. Officers responded. During the initial search, there was an accidental discharge. No one was injured and that prompted the increased response," Danvers Police Chief James P. Lovell


Untrained officer has a negligent discharge and it prompts the entire school to go into "active shooter" lockdown.

I can't help but notice the language. It's an accidental discharge when police do it. It's a negligent discharge when anybody else does it.

That’s about the size of it, yup.

Thanks. Before I moved to MA, did not know that.

My brother went to BC High.

He’s a moron. Very intelligent, but still a moron.

"Us civilians" would include the police, who, despite their desire to be regarded as soldiers, are also civilians. But your point about non-LEOs getting jammed up for NDs stands.

 

[not new guy]

Holy crap. A million cops swarm the school due to a swatting call (i.e. of questionable credibility) and they're walking around with guns out and fingers on triggers? What a joke.

 

[G4Y4HK]

Cops can't be trusted with striker guns. Give em back their P226s.

 

[The5thDentist]

'89 SJP grad. here.

Even then I hated the practice of people referring to it as "The Prep". Like it's not the only one, nor is it the end-all, be-all of high schools.

Don't get me wrong. I love the place and loved my 4 years there. But "The Prep" was cringe AF long before that expression ever existed.


Back on topic. Glad the call was a hoax and what's the ND cop's NES screen name?

FIFY

What is a "normal" swatting response?
