this is something you guys have been

0:01

requesting the hell out of for a long

0:03

time it took a lot of time but I finally

0:06

found three stories that take place

0:08

during school

0:13

lockdowns it was a typical boring day in

0:16

calculus only it was Friday 7th period

0:19

meaning the week was almost over and

0:21

spring break would finally be upon us so

0:23

everybody was getting antsy in their

0:25

seats I could tell we didn't have a test

0:28

that day like a lot of my friends did

0:30

with their other teachers so our teacher

0:32

in the middle of class just decided to

0:34

start playing games with us on

0:35

sporcle.com he was a very laid-back

0:38

teacher like that as we were doing some

0:41

brand logo quiz on sporl I remember the

0:44

exact moment it

0:47

happened right after my friend answered

0:49

a question I remember the exact answer

0:51

to Adidas the dean's voice came through

0:54

the

0:55

loudspeaker he sounded panicked and

0:57

frantic as he told all the teachers this

1:00

was not a drill and to go into

1:02

lockdown I actually got the chills and I

1:05

got goosebumps on my arms as our usually

1:07

laid-back teacher too seemed panicked as

1:10

he ran to turn off the lights and

1:11

ushered us to the back corner of the

1:14

room we all sat in silence for about 2

1:17

minutes and then the usual buzzing that

1:19

came from a panel in the back of the

1:21

room seized indicating that the school

1:23

must have cut all the power we all

1:26

looked at each other realizing this must

1:28

be serious

1:30

a few more minutes of waiting later we

1:33

heard a man screaming at the top of his

1:35

lungs coming down the hallway two girls

1:37

in the class actually started crying

1:39

which made all of us even more scared as

1:42

the screaming got closer to the

1:44

classroom the lunatic sounding man

1:46

started banging on the lockers while

1:48

screaming I'll kill all of you it was at

1:51

that moment that I started to fear for

1:53

my

1:53

life my teacher shushed us as we all

1:57

looked at each other to see our peers

1:58

reactions

2:00

the banging then moved from the lockers

2:02

to our classroom

2:05

door and that's when one of the crying

2:07

girls screamed

2:09

no the banging on the door only grew

2:12

worse as the man started screaming open

2:15

up two of the girls in the class were

2:17

crying out loud

2:19

now it felt like an eternity that that

2:21

man was pounding at the door but

2:24

eventually he finally continued down the

2:26

hallway screaming like a mentally insane

2:28

person until we could not hear him

2:31

anymore I'd say 10 minutes later though

2:33

it felt like half an hour given the

2:35

situation the dean came back on the loud

2:37

speaker explaining the situation which

2:40

was surprising for him to do he

2:42

explained that some apparently mentally

2:44

unstable person entered the building and

2:46

assaulted the woman sitting at the front

2:48

desk causing her to flee the building

2:50

screaming and staff wasn't sure if the

2:52

man was armed or not now this was before

2:55

the school had cameras or could afford

2:57

proper security so the school was was

3:00

wide open to something like this

3:01

happening the staff had done a sweep of

3:03

all the hallways and classrooms and

3:05

couldn't find him so the dean instructed

3:08

the teachers to resume teaching but to

3:10

keep all the doors locked and to not let

3:12

any students leave for any

3:15

reasons the most disturbing part however

3:18

is that one of the janitors working the

3:19

night shift found the man sleeping in

3:22

one of the storage closets near the back

3:24

end of the school and according to

3:26

rumors that were spread by my peers

3:28

sticking out of his pocket was a 44

3:31

magnum the janitor must have done

3:34

something stupid to wake him up for

3:35

example leaving the closet door open

3:38

because by the time a police officer

3:39

could arrive on the scene the man was

3:42

gone my entire class as far as I know to

3:45

this day has no idea if this man was

3:48

ever found but I like to think that

3:50

right now he's being given the proper

3:52

help that he needs

3:59

[Music]

4:02

my school has two lunch periods first

4:04

lunch period is for all sixth graders

4:06

and some seventh graders the second

4:09

lunch period is for the other half of

4:11

the seventh graders and all eighth

4:13

graders the lockdown happened in the

4:15

beginning of

4:17

October the day the lockdown occurred it

4:19

was overcast and rainy during the first

4:22

lunch period I heard four loud

4:24

booms I personally thought it was

4:26

Thunder but the entire lunch crowd

4:28

started scream screaming I was thinking

4:31

those kids were just serious [ __ ] but

4:33

the campus security came in and started

4:35

yelling at people to go into the

4:36

multi-purpose room and the kids who were

4:39

in line buying lunch had to throw out

4:40

their lunch and come inside me and some

4:43

friends went inside the room along with

4:45

a huge group of other kids everyone was

4:48

curious as to what was happening our

4:51

multi-purpose room is huge and the back

4:53

wall of the room is made of see-through

4:55

glass when me and my friends were rushed

4:58

inside the campus security was covering

5:00

the glass with the curtains and there

5:02

were adults at every exit my friend Eric

5:05

was curious as well as the rest of us so

5:07

he asked one of the adults what was

5:09

going on when he came back he said you

5:13

know how right in front of TMS there's

5:14

those houses I replied yeah there's this

5:19

mentally disabled crazy man that

5:21

barricaded himself in front of his house

5:22

and he's threatening to commit suicide

5:24

and kill the cops if he's evicted he was

5:27

walking around outside of school

5:28

watching kids in weird way Eric told

5:32

us it turned out the man was also a

5:34

registered sex offender making matters

5:37

worse we were stuck in the multi-purpose

5:39

room for a whole hour taking up two

5:42

periods after the whole thing was

5:44

settled we were escorted to our

5:46

classrooms one by one I later found out

5:49

that the man lives next to my friend

5:51

Brandy who told me about the previous

5:53

Halloween when she saw the same man at

5:56

his window cutting his arm and writing

5:58

in his own blood don't come come here or

6:00

I'll kill you on his

6:02

window of course being Halloween people

6:05

including Brandy assumed it was just for

6:07

the holiday but after this horrific

6:09

incident we knew this man was mental and

6:12

we're glad he never got near

6:14

[Music]

6:21

us I'm 22 years old fresh out of college

6:24

and I recently got a job at my old high

6:26

school as a sort of computer intern in

6:28

the school basement

6:30

the basement of the school is very messy

6:32

and disorganized but there is a small

6:35

threers office that's actually very nice

6:37

down there it has three nice big desks

6:41

two mini fridges a flat screen TV

6:43

mounted on the wall and oh so satisfying

6:46

air conditioning a luxury the students

6:48

and teachers cannot enjoy in the school

6:50

and of course all the school servers and

6:52

other computery

6:55

stuff I got the job because three of my

6:58

old computer teachers flat out adored me

7:01

I could actually consider them as real

7:03

friends not just teacher figures so they

7:05

all helped tremendously in landing me

7:07

this

7:09

job it's been great until something that

7:12

happened a few weeks

7:14

ago my two co-workers that shared the

7:17

office with me Dave and Gary weren't in

7:19

the office at the time they were

7:21

upstairs working on papers or whatever I

7:25

was eating my sandwich during my lunch

7:27

break when I got a phone call from one

7:29

of the women women in the front office

7:30

telling me the school was on lockdown

7:32

and that somebody possibly armed had

7:34

entered the school there wasn't much

7:37

that I could do other than turn off the

7:39

lights because surprisingly as nice as

7:41

this little office was it didn't have an

7:44

actual door to it just a big opening and

7:46

the door to the whole basement didn't

7:48

even have a working lock for my own

7:51

safety I did turn off all the lights in

7:53

the office and my computer screen I kept

7:56

my phone on the desk texting both Gary

7:58

and Dave but they wouldn't respond I sat

8:02

down there in the dark playing games on

8:04

my phone for like 20 minutes waiting for

8:06

the call from up front to tell me to

8:08

resume working I had no idea what was

8:11

happening I couldn't hear what was going

8:12

on upstairs from down here but I was not

8:15

allowed to make any calls until I was

8:17

informed that the lockdown was

8:19

over then the noisy basement door

8:22

opened as the creaking echoed across the

8:25

basement and into my office I sat up

8:27

from my seat wondering if I should to

8:29

call out Gary or Dave I was eager to get

8:32

some info from them someone then came

8:35

running down the stairs and their

8:36

footsteps were approaching my office I

8:39

pushed away my chair and crawled under

8:41

my

8:41

desk somebody entered the office but did

8:44

not turn on the

8:47

lights there was just

8:51

silence I can't even describe the fear I

8:53

was experiencing I felt like if I made

8:56

one sudden noise I'd be a dead man

9:00

suddenly my phone dinged as I got a text

9:04

message I felt my entire world shrivel

9:07

up and die at that one moment as I

9:09

clenched my teeth in fear footsteps

9:12

suddenly moved closer to me until I

9:14

finally Dove out from under the desk in

9:16

capitulation begging whoever it was not

9:19

to kill me and just then someone grabbed

9:22

my arm and pulled me

9:24

up it was some guy in a red plaid

9:27

buttonup jeans and a reddish black

9:30

cap he told me it's okay I'm just down

9:33

here hiding with you what's going on up

9:35

there I whispered to him he kind of

9:38

ignored my question and asked me if

9:40

there's an exit down here I told him

9:43

yeah around that

9:45

way before he could do anything else I

9:48

asked him who are you there was a brief

9:51

moment of silence before he started

9:53

explaining he was coming in to pick up

9:55

his son when a teacher told him to hide

9:58

after his explanation I checked my phone

10:01

and saw the text I received was from

10:03

Dave it said dude this is [ __ ] crazy

10:07

some guy with a gun shot Mr Buckley he's

10:09

wearing a red shirt and hat whatever you

10:12

do don't come

10:13

upstairs I was about to reread that text

10:16

out loud to the man until I realized I

10:20

looked up and felt my stomach

10:23

sink the man seemed to catch on to my

10:25

suspicious stare panicking all I could

10:28

think to do was to run for the

10:30

upstairs a gunshot echoed through the

10:33

basement and I could hear the bullet

10:34

Ricochet off something metal in the

10:37

darkness but thank God the bullet missed

10:39

me and I made it

10:41

upstairs fortunately police were waiting

10:43

at all exits including the basement exit

10:46

and caught the man the second he opened

10:48

the door more good news our teacher Mr

10:51

Buckley Survived The

10:53

Gunshot it was later determined that the

10:55

man and Mr Buckley had some beef for

10:57

whatever reason but that was never ever

10:59

revealed all we know is that Mr Buckley

11:02

couldn't have done anything that would

11:03

have warranted this kind of

11:05

reaction and I know that the sound of

11:07

that gunshot will forever echo in my

11:09

mind

11:15
