A Crime in Winnetka?

Today, while I was doing some work in class, there was an announcement over the PA saying that there was a robbery at the gas station on green bay road. The school was on lockdown, which meant that all the doors in the school were locked, and no one could leave. I was surprised that there was even a robbery in boring old Winnetka, but I guess anything can happen. Kids were gossiping about what they thought the incident really was. Some were saying that there was a murder at the local Panera, while others thought that the robber had a dangerous weapon. Others were clueless as to what happened. Later, in musical theater the drama teacher cleared up any misconceptions we may have had about the crime. She then asked us to use that same sense of "false" fear in this scene we were doing for the play? The scene, however, was actually better. Rumors were still going around. Some said that the robber had a small gun, which he dropped at the scene of the crime, and that he fled to Kenilworth, a neighborhood close to Winnetka. The school was finally off lockdown, since the police had given the school the "all clear." The rest of the day wen downhill from there, but at least something worth blogging about happened.
