My brother Eric is a teacher at Pontiac High School back in Illinois. Tuesday started out as just another late-August school day, until the school was put under a "Code Red" lockdown and uniformed police officers entered his classroom to arrest one of his students for gun possession.
His fascinating account can be found on his blog here:
A Day In The Life
A very scary situation, but it sounds like Eric handled it well and we're all proud that a parent singled him out on the online blog of the local newspaper, The Bloomington Pantagraph, for his calm, professional manner. Eric did a great job for his kids and the school and everyone is glad that no one was hurt.
And kudos to the kid who alerted the proper authorities. Hes a hero, too.
More later,
Mark
