Lake Gibson High School Makes the Right Choice

Monday was not a typical Monday at Lake Gibson High School.  Half of the student body did not come to school, in fear that they might be shot.  A message was left in a boy's bathroom before Thanksgiving which threatened a school wide shooting on Monday at 11:11 am.  Luckily there was no shooting but parents and Lake Gibson High School were not taking any chances and rightfully so.  Lilly, O'Toole & Brown sees incidents involving inadequate security at various business quite often, usually a restaurant or business with a lot of customer traffic where the business does not adequately protect their customers and, as a result of their negligence, a customer is injured or in some instances killed.  Forwarned is forearmed, and in the case of Lake Gibson High School the more conservative path was taken to protect our most precious commodity.  A day of school can be replaced and it is hoped the person responsible for this act of terror is caught quickly.  While this incident appears to have been a hoax, no protection is too great to make sure our children are safe.
