Makes me realize how vulnerable we are in our schools if something like this should happen while we have kids in session. Thank you for sharing the footage!

Why did you take the video down?

I didn't take it down. Apparently, there was a problem and the school took it down, but I have replaced it with a different version that was posted on another YouTube channel today.

I preferred the footage as it was last night, without the music playing in the background. Still, absolutely unbelievable...
