School Security: “Locking Down” the Details

in Features by

Confusion, excitement and fear swept throughout Wesleyan campus during the late morning hours of Aug. 18.

Students and teachers were notified of the second Dollar General thievery, causing the school to go into lockdown mode. Thanks to many years of practice, the process went smoothly with very few errors. Throughout the many hours of anticipation to hear the real account of what happened along Spalding Drive that morning, rumors had developed, each unique to its storyteller.

It is safe to say that the real story is probably still out there jumbled amongst the faulty ones, but the real matter in this situation is the safety precautions that were taken to avoid much larger problems. A big thank you goes out to the campus officers for handling the situation with ease and keeping all on campus safe.
