“On that day, over the course of a few hours, three different times — three times — school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school and was threatening people. But the administration could not be bothered,” Toscano said.

This incident has also led to general questions about safety and procedures in the district.
The school has been closed since the shooting but plans to reopen next week.
