Description
Students across western Washington faced another startling reality as false calls of school shootings came in from Bellingham to Tacoma on Tuesday.
“When you have so many false incidents where there’s not a gun present, you’re still scared because you know that’s a possibility that you have to worry about and it shouldn’t be,” said Franklin High School Sophomore Safiya Warsame.
Safiya and Junior, Natalya McConnell helped organize last week’s Seattle Student Union rally at the steps of City Hall following the shooting death of Ingraham High School student Ebenezer Haile. Franklin High School was not one of the schools that got a swatting call but it still hits close to home.
“It shouldn’t be this close to our communities, it shouldn’t be in our schools, we come here to be educated, we don’t come here to be killed,” said McConnell.
The schools that were impacted were Rochester High School in Thurston, Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Marysville Getchell High School, Mount Vernon High School, Sedro-Woolley High School, Sehome High School in Bellingham and Blaine Highschool.
