A Loud Crack. Shattered Glass. And a Classroom Forever Changed.
A sudden, deafening crack pierced the air inside a Washington school classroom—followed by the unmistakable sound of glass crashing to the floor. But it wasn’t a student or a thrown object. It was a stray bullet, fired from a nearby block of abandoned buildings, that tore through the window.
Within seconds, the school activated its lockdown protocol. Teachers shielded students. Doors locked. Silence fell.
Police arrived quickly, securing the area and launching an investigation. Thankfully, no one was physically injured. But the emotional scars run deep.
To the students, educators, and families affected: we see you. We stand with you. And we hope for healing in the face of fear.
