So....today was very interesting! I really don't even know how to start this post. I guess I'll just start by saying I'm very impressed with Braydon's elementary school, T. Clay Wood. Today really proved how well they work in keeping the children safe. Okay now the back story.
Today when Braydon's bus driver picked him up she told me the buses had to go to the middle school because his school was on lockdown. I decided to send him to school rather then take him off the bus, because I didn't think they would be on the bus very long. Well I was wrong! The buses sat at the middle school for an hour!! They then moved them to a nearby high school so they could off load the students. All students were grouped by their classes. Finally after another hour I decided to go and pick up Braydon.
The reason all of this was happening was very sad. Last night a man murdered his girlfriend in our neighborhood. He then fled the scene. This morning his car was found abandoned at the elementary school. A man hunt was happening for him and they didn't want the students at the school. Eventually his body was found at the baseball fields on the school property.
Today was pretty much a wash for the students. Braydon really doesn't know why his day happened this way. We just explained to him that a man hurt a women and then ran away and that the cops wanted him. He said he hopes he doesn't hurt anyone else.
Whats even sadder about this situation is that the woman who the man killed had two children. One was in 2nd grade and another in 5th grade. The children where students at T. Clay Wood (Braydon's school). I feel so bad for those children.
