OMG. It was such a nice residential neighborhood when I was a kid and went to school there in the 50's. Now almost every day there is some bad item on the news in my old neighborhood. It makes me so very sad.It was such a great neighborhood to grow up in. </P> <P>They put the school on lockdown and went through it with police and dogs. No one and nothing was found and nothing happened.On the same campus there is a school for handicapped kids and a middle school.All 3 schools were checked and nothing was found.</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 23:10:51 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256922#M452417 151949 2014-09-16T23:10:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256927#M452419 <P>Some of the biggest cases of school shootings have been in nice, affluent, suburban neighborhoods.</P> <P>It's happening all over!</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 23:11:55 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256927#M452419 terrier3 2014-09-16T23:11:55Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256931#M452421 <P><STRONG>What part of the country are you in? <IMG src="https://community.qvc.com/" /></STRONG></P> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 23:38:24 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256931#M452421 Tinkrbl44 2014-09-16T23:38:24Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256937#M452423 <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class="quote_author">On 9/16/2014 <STRONG>terrier3</STRONG> said:</SPAN> <P>Some of the biggest cases of school shootings have been in nice, affluent, suburban neighborhoods.</P> <P>It's happening all over!</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>True dat!</P> <P>Poor folk have one heck of a time coming up with the $ for a sizeable cache.</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 23:42:15 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256937#M452423 Snowpuppy 2014-09-16T23:42:15Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256941#M452425 <BLOCKQUOTE><SPAN class="quote_author">On 9/16/2014 <STRONG>Tinkrbl44</STRONG> said:</SPAN> <P><STRONG>What part of the country are you in? <IMG src="http://community.qvc.com/DesktopModules/ExactTarget/Controls/TextEditor/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/confused1.gif" alt="{#emotions_dlg.confused1}" /></STRONG></P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>This is a City of Pittsburgh school.

It really isn't safe, no matter what area we might think was/is safe. Sorry to say....... Someone once said that nothing good happens after midnight. Or something similar.</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 23:59:12 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256946#M452427 ROMARY 2014-09-16T23:59:12Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256951#M452429 <P>OMG - I just saw on the news that the person called in the threat again today and they had to evacuate the elementary and the middle schools - they took the kids to the high school. I certainly hope they find the person doing this.</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:06:37 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/My-elementary-school/m-p/1256951#M452429 151949 2014-09-18T03:06:37Z
