A Trying Situation

Well, class was certainly unexpected yesterday! I don't think any of us will be able to forget Twelfth Night after that.
When an officer bursts through the classroom door, the first thing you see is not BCPS or SWAT on their shirts and hats.. it's the guns that they are holding, pointing at your class. In those minutes I must have imagines a hundred different scenarios (ah, the blessings and curses of an active imagination).

I read the Beaufort Gazette and was extremely offended by people's attitudes towards Dr. Kilgore. In my opinion, he remained calm and handled the situation very well. I don't know about you, but if I am stuck in a room with armed men outside I want a professor who has the sense and the courage to barricade the door, regardless of which way the door opens. A TV and stand won't stop a shooter, no, but it does slow him down.

Thank you so much Dr. Kilgore for barricading the door. Thank you for remaining calm and watching out for us. Thank you for calling 9-1-1 to double check on everything. Thank you for remaining on scene until you were sure every member of the class was fine.

Forget the people who read the newspaper. I appreciate my professor! Kudos to Kilgore.
