Gun Scare Prompts Closure of Sonoma Schools

Rancho Cotati High School and Cross & Crown Lutheran School for kindergarteners and preschoolers in Rohnert Park were shutdown today after a gun scare sent parents, school officials, and teachers into a frenzy. (Students, of course, think it's awesome, because anything that gets you out of school is rad.) According to reports, "A Sonoma County emergency dispatcher received a call at 9:19 a.m. reporting an armed student inside the school at 5450 Snyder Lane." So far no gun or disgruntled student has been found. A school employee at an apartment complex across the street said "some parents had gathered at the edge of the campus and were awaiting an update on the situation."
