On January 31, 2017, at approximately 12:00 pm., deputies assigned to the Northern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Power Wireless store in the 2300 block of Churchville Road for the report of an armed robbery. Upon arrival, deputies discovered an individual suffering from head and facial injuries. Deputies were informed two unknown black males entered the store when one produced an handgun and demanded money. A struggle ensued between the suspects and an employee, during which a round was fired from the handgun. No injuries were reported as a result of the gunshot. During the struggle, one of the suspects physically assaulted the employee, before fleeing the store in an unknown direction with an undisclosed amount of cash and cell phones.

Why weren’t schools put on lockdown??????
Why would schools need to be “locked down”?
What is school “lock down” these days? Locking the door?
Anything else?
Several months ago when the Dunkin Donuts was robbed and the police were searching, all schools in the area were on lockdown. Lockdown, according to my child means that the classrooms are secure and locked, but teaching continues. No student would be allowed to be leaving campus .
Does the Star Trek ” Red Alert ” sound effect play over the school’s intercom when doors are locked?
Because cell phones aren’t for sale at the schools.
Wear and Carry!!
