Exciting but tragic events

As you know a female police officer was killed in Delta on Tuesday morning. With my normal routine, I never listen to the radio--books on CD are so much more entertaining to listen to on my hour long drive. The only weird thing on my drive home was 8 police cars (6 in a tight formation) of various markings come racing up behind me with lights flashing. I wondered where they were headed, but lost them quickly. Anyway, I knew nothing of this until the boys got off the bus, with a "Did you hear what happened?"

As the cops were following leads to find the killers, one lead to Nephi. SWAT surrounded a house near my kids schools. Needless to say with all the danger that these men were capable of, the schools were put into a lockdown mode. The students were allowed to move within the schools. Derek's school was the most affected. SWAT headquarters was near the high school. Many police officers were onsite. He said police were there to escort the students to and from classes outside the main building, ie. seminary, vocational building. They would take 10 students at a time across to the door and run back for some more. This lasted for the entire afternoon. Thanksfully the SWAT took care of the situation and students were allowed to go home on time.
