I was in the "Finishing Trades Institute" mentioned in the story below. It is a branch of South Seattle Community College so I could not carry there. I saw that the roads were blocked when I pulled in. When I got to the third floor of the building I was talking to a bunch of friends looking out the windows at cop cars. Someone said there had been a shooting and my first though was "Oh, great, he is going to head right for the gun free zone and I do not have my gun". Well, guess what? A good (and reliable) friend of mine said he saw a police officer go into one of the other school buildings with a rifle. I guess a couple of people who were exiting the building were told to go back inside. There was talk of locking the doors but I do not know if that actually happened. By the time we were done everything had calmed down. I don't know if the suspect was actually on school grounds or not.
