Anonymous sent: I'm sorry that it was close to you, and I apologize if my answer seemed snappy in any way. I live in Illinois, and I heard about it on the news this morning while they were evacuating the students to the elementary school and then again later on with further information (on the evening news). It's scary stuff; my school had a lot of bomb/gun threats when I was there, but never went past that.

I was — this close to actually going to that school.
