“Schools in Meridian, Idaho went into full ‘prison mode’ after a student who brought a folding shovel to Heritage Middle School in Meridian, Idaho prompted the school’s ‘resource officer’ to call for a full lockdown. On February 5, three schools in Yuma, Arizona were placed on lockdown as the result of what was later described as a ‘rumor’ of a gun on campus. Officers from two local law enforcement departments and two federal agencies – many of them kitted out in full combat attire – were mobilized for the operation. The students were held in custody for more than three hours before being released.”
