Kennedy Secondary School in Mississauga, Canada is currently on lockdown after reports of a male with a possible weapon. Police received the call at 9:56 a.m. The nearby Learning Jungle Day Care is also on lockdown and is secure. That is all the information available at this time.
The lockdown at Kennedy Secondary School is just the latest in a string of lockdowns, bomb threats, and shootings that have plagued the United States. Over the course of the past few years, shootings and lockdowns such as these have been a scourge upon the country and people have struggled with coming up with a solution. Lockdowns have become all too common as a means of protection when students and faculty are in danger and today is no different.
This incident follows similar incidents at Dodd Middle School in Connecticut, Windham Public Schools also in Connecticut, Pacoima Middle School in Los Angeles, Millennium Middle School in Florida, and US Grant High School in Oklahoma, which are just some of the places where events such as this have occurred.
