Lock Down!

Today, half way through Torts clas (I like Torts, so much "reasonablenes" you could have a really fun drinking game) someone in the back raised their hand and announced, "We are on lock down." Um, lock what?! We are in the middle of class here, bucko. It is after 3 PM on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Thanks to the availability of wireless access all over the law school, four other people soon piped up that in fact, yes, we were to stay in our building after class (it was the last class of the day) as the SWAT team and RCMP were in the close-by Bio Science building and we were instructed to stay where we are.
I am ashamed to say I couldn't quite hack it and soon after class let out, I made my way to a parking row across from the law school where my husband was waiting to pick me up. We then took the long route around away from the Science building and came home, where I started getting all these emails from school. One of them was addressed to those in the Science building, telling them to barade themselves into their rooms and not let anyone in or out. Still waiting to find out what that was about.
Canadians are so low-key. If this happened in the States, people would be fleeing and evacuating and freaking out.
