<p>&gt;&gt; WE WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO GUN WAS FOUND. WE HAVE BEEN ON TOP OF THIS BREAKING NEWS STORY SINCE 10, 30 THIS MORNING. AND THIS IS WHAT THE SCENE LOOKED LIKE ON THE RIGHT PART OF YOUR SCREEN. THAT'S WHAT SKY 5 AND POLICE WERE ABOVE POLICE AND PARENTS RUSHED TO THE SCHOOL. &gt;&gt; TAKE A LISTEN TO POLICE RADIO TRAFFIC THAT EXPLAINS WHAT PROMPTED THE LOCKDOWN AND POLICE RESPONSE AT AND LOW. &gt;&gt; WELL, THAT INFORMATION BOYFRIEND AND HER PICTURE THAT HE WAS HERE AT THE FOOTBALL FIELD. NEVER SAID HE HADN'T NEVER SHOW IT TO HER. SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE POSSIBLE THAT HE IS KNOWN TO CARRY SO NO GROUND SAYING NO, THAT WAS THE &gt;&gt; WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE NOW AT NOON WRAL'S. MATT TALHELM IS ON TOP OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION. WE BEGIN WITH WRAL'S SHAUN GALLAGHER WHO IS WITH PARENTS NOW RELIEVED SEAN. THE SCHOOL IS DISMISSING FOR THE DAY IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. &gt;&gt; THAT'S RIGHT. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE BEHIND ME, A LOT OF SCHOOL BUSES HAVE ARRIVED. THERE'S PROBABLY A HALF DOZEN, IF NOT MORE. THAT JUST GOT HERE TO TRY TO PICK UP THOSE KIDS ABOUT 12, 30, LIKE YOU SAID. BUT WE GOT HERE ON SCENE AND IT WAS ABOUT 10 45 IN THE MORNING. A HANDFUL OF PARENTS ALREADY HERE AFTER THEY GOT THE ALERTS THAT THE SCHOOL WAS IN A LOCKDOWN AND TENSIONS WERE HIGH. THEY WERE STRUGGLING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEIR KIDS. BUT I DID SPEAK WITH ONE PARENT WHO WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH HER SON OVER THE PHONE ON A PHONE CALL STATE ON THE PHONE WITH HIM FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR AT THIS POINT. THEY BOTH ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CONNECTION AND NOT TRYING TO MAKE A SMALL SENSE OF COMFORT. HERE ABOUT A HALF HOUR. &gt;&gt; I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO I DIDN'T KNOW THAT IT IS. OR WAS IT OUT OF THE KILL FOR IT? AND SO THEY KIND OF HAVE ME ON MY HOME AND I WILL BE ON MY TOES OF IT ALSO KIND OF TIME LIKE SOME SORT OF A LIGHT IN THE SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE NEW YOU DON'T ARE LIGHT AND THE SITUATION IS GOING TO MAKE THINGS MORE DIFFICULT OR SO. AND IT ALSO LIKE ALSO GOING TO HELP SO TIGHT ENDS. IT IS THE THING ABOUT THAT. HOW MUCH YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR MOM? I WANT TO SEE LIVE RIGHT NOW &gt;&gt; WHEN I WAS RANDALL CREW, HE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS MOM JOINED WITH NEVADA, HIS MOM RIGHT NOW. I MEAN, HEARING HOW IT SAID YOUR SON IS TO HEAR TO SEE YOU. I MEAN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? &gt;&gt; THAT'S NOT PRIDE. AND JOY IS MY ONLY SON. HE'S A SENIOR. HE'S ABOUT TO GRADUATE IN JUNE AND HEAD OFF TO COLLEGE HERE IN STATE. AND JUST KNOWING THAT HE'S SAFE, HE'S OUT. HE IS OF SOUND MIND AND WHEN I SAY YOU CANNOT WAIT TO SEE MY I CAN. &gt;&gt; SO MY TENNIS SHOES, I CAN RUN OF THIS DEAL &gt;&gt; TO STAND BESIDE HIS VEHICLE AND WAIT FOR FOR THEM TO REALLY JUST A FEW MINUTES. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN HERE PROBABLY AS LONG AS WE HAVE. AND THEN WHAT DROVE YOU TO GET TO GET OUT HERE AS QUICKLY AS HE DID. &gt;&gt; AS A PARENT, AN INVOLVED PARENT INVOLVED IN ALL THINGS MOVING HERE AND AS FIRST ONE HE SAID THEY WERE ON THE LOCKDOWN. IT SEEMED LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THAT WAS GOING TO BE SHORT AND SWEET. BUT THEN HE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT A POSSIBLE WEAPON ON CAMPUS CAMPUS. AND THAT COMPLETELY STOPPED ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS. AND I KNEW THEN THAT I NEEDED TO JUST BE HERE AS A SUPPORT UNIT COULD PHYSICALLY GET INSIDE THE SCHOOL OR TO SEE HIM PLAY HANDS ON HIM. DOES NOT THAT I BUY. I WANT TO BE LIKED. GIVE US SOME ASSURANCE THAT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, BY AND WAITING FOR HIM TO TO TO BE LET OUT OF SCHOOL. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STUCK WITH ALL OF US THAT I HEARD HIM TALK TO US ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AGO, AS YOU KNOW, THIS 18 YEAR OLD SAYING THAT HE'S DRAINED FROM THIS. I MEAN, WHEN YOU HEAR THAT FROM A TEENAGER, WHAT HE'S GOING THROUGH. &gt;&gt; HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOU IF IT'S BEEN A LOT OF WAYS BECAUSE I MEAN, THEY DO THESE DRILLS AT PRACTICE OFTEN, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY EXPECT TO HAVE TO GO INTO A FULL ON LOCKDOWN. &gt;&gt; SO I THINK INITIALLY WANTS IT STARTED. YOU KNOW, THEY ASSUME IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WAS QUICK WITH HIM WHEN HE FOUND OUT IT WAS, IN FACT, A CODE RED. IT KIND OF CHANGED HIS MINDSET A LITTLE BIT. AND HE'S JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, HERE I AM CLOSE TODAY, THE FINISH LINES ATHLETE, SENIOR SKIP DAY, AND I CHOSE TO COME TO SCHOOL AND BE AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN MY LEARNING. AND NOW HERE I AM SITTING IN A CORNER IN THE CLASSROOM CAN CAN'T GO TO THE RESTROOM. CAN'T DO ANYTHING THAT'S MENTALLY EXHAUSTING AS MENTALLY DRAINING. I'M JUST A FEW MONTHS BACK. HE ACTUALLY INTERVIEW ABOUT WEAPONS IN AND ON CAMPUS AND HOPING TO NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS. AND AND NOW JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS LATER, WE'RE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE WITH HIS SCHOOL. I KNOW YOU SAID SENIOR CUT. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN WITH A HANDFUL OF HIS FRIENDS. I MEAN, IS THAT PROVIDING ANOTHER SENSE OF RELIEF BEING ABLE TO BE WITH KIDS THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH YOU OR I AM? IT'S A IT'S A SET ASIDE RELIEF KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH THEY SKIP SCHOOL. BUT I GET IN FOR A GOOD CAUSE. YOU KNOW, BEN HAS BEEN A SINGER BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL. &gt;&gt; BUT JUST NOT THAT THEY'RE SAFE. THEY'RE SOUND AND THEY ARE ALSO STANDING BY WAITING TO SEE THEIR CLASSMATES COME OUT OF THE BUILDING. SO THAT'S OFFERING SOME STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO MY SON. HE'S, YOU KNOW, GOT THE CHANCE TO TALK WITH THEM. THEY ACTUALLY WATCHED HIM ON THE NEWS TODAY AND RECORDED AND SHARED IT BACK SO I'M JUST, YOU KNOW, HE'S HE'S STILL A SO HE IS WELL AWARE WAS GONE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH HIS CLASSMATES. THAT'S GREAT. ALL RIGHT. WELL, RANDALL, WE'LL SEE YOU &gt;&gt; YEAH. HAHA RANDALL. HE'LL BE OUT HERE TO MEET UP WITH HIS MOM ABOUT 26 MINUTES. I'M SURE YOU'RE COUNTING THE TIME AS WELL. WE'LL BE HERE FOR WHEN THEY REUNITE AND BRING THAT TO YOU LATER THAT. &gt;&gt; PARENTS AND STUDENTS READY TO EMBRACE EACH OTHER. AND NO DOUBT THOSE HUGS WILL BE A LITTLE TIGHTER TODAY FOR SURE. AFTER THIS SITUATION. SHAUN GALLAGHER, THANK YOU. AND JUST A SHORT TIME AGO, RALEIGH POLICE HELD A NEWS CONFERENCE EXPLAINING WHAT PROMPTED THE LOCKDOWN AND WRAL'S MATT TALHELM WAS THERE. HE IS LIVE NOW IN NEW BERN AVENUE. THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SCHOOL.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE INTERSECTION OVER HERE OF NEW BERN IN CLARENDON. YOU DO HAVE SOME OF THOSE PARENTS WAITING OUT HERE WITH RALEIGH POLICE. RPD STILL HAS CLARENDON CRESCENT CLOSE. THIS IS THE ROAD THAT GOES BACK. &gt;&gt; HIGH SCHOOL HERE. SO THIS ROAD IS STILL CLOSED. PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWED IN THERE TO GO PICK UP THEIR KIDS.

WE'RE TOLD THAT A STUDENT REPORTED TO A PRINCIPLE THERE WAS SOMEONE ON CAMPUS WITH A GUN TO SCHOOL WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT ON THAT CODE. RED LOCKDOWN. AND AS WE SEE FROM SKY 5 ALL MORNING, THERE WAS A MASSIVE POLICE PRESENCE OUT HERE. OFFICERS RUSHING TO THE SCENE. THEY DID A SYSTEMATIC SEARCH. THEY WENT HALLWAY BY HALLWAY ROOM BY ROOM THROUGH THIS SCHOOL. &gt;&gt; AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING WAS SAFE AND THERE WAS NO ONE WITH A GUN ON CAMPUS. I DID ASK THE DEPUTY CHIEF, THOUGH, ABOUT HOW A THREAT LIKE THIS REALLY AFFECTS THERE. OFFICERS AND THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY HERE. &gt;&gt; OBVIOUSLY HAS A HUGE TOLL ON HUGE EFFECT ON OUR OFFICERS RESPONDING TO ANY SCHOOL WITH THE POTENTIAL OF A FARM BEEN ON THE THAT'S WHY YOU SAW THE RESPONSE TO TODAY.

FREE YOUR SCHOOL HERE NOW. RIGHT NOW, POLICE ARE NOT SAYING IF THEY ARE STILL LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN ON CAMPUS AND LEFT CAMPUS. THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF.

AND THAT BEFORE YOU GO, YOU MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE PRINCIPAL RESPONDED TO THAT LAST QUESTION REGARDING WHERE THEY LOOKING FOR ANYONE. HE MENTIONS AGAIN ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE BEING TOLD SOMETHING THAT'S PART THIS INVESTIGATION. HAVE YOU HAD ANY SUCCESS TRYING TO ACTUALLY HEAR FROM THE PRINCIPAL ABOUT THIS? &gt;&gt; AT THE NO, I MEAN, I WAS THE PRINCIPALS OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH A LOT RIGHT NOW. WE DID THINK THAT THE PRINCIPLE MAY COME OVER IT. &gt;&gt; TALK WITH US AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY HERE 30 MINUTES AGO. BUT WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE PRINCIPAL FROM THE SCHOOL IN SOUTH ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY THAT THREAT WAS. THAT PROMPTED ALL OF THIS.
