At Penn Charter, students have been in lockdown since 11:45 am. A note was found inside the Penn Charter athletic bathroom stating that a student brought a gun to school with the intention of shooting someone. 

“Cops have to search everyone and their belongings,” said an anonymous Penn Charter student who was texting this reporter from his phone.

“Full sweep of the school. They’re searching classrooms. It’s not on the news,” texted another anonymous source. “They have K-9s,” the source added. “Cops haven’t been to the second floor yet.”

An anonymous freshman text, “I have been in my English room for 3 hours and didn’t have my phone for the first 2 so we had to stay in silence.”

Some students trying to pass the time have played sports trivia for multiple hours.

Students were let out at 2:58 pm.

An anonymous senior student said, “It was pretty nerve-racking at first but luckily we were able to stay safe.”
