Students scrambled for shelter in the football stadium as officers swarmed the campus and parents raced to find out if their children were safe on Wednesday .Students are evacuated to the football stadium after the school campus was placed on lockdown at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on Wednesday, September 4, 2024.
Ashley Enoh was at home Wednesday morning when she got a text from her brother, who's a senior at Apalachee High School: "Just so you know, I love you." Few details were immediately available from authorities, who were dispatched shortly before 10.30am to respond to an "active shooting", the sheriff's office said in a statement.
With the main road blocked to the school, Clark parked and ran with other parents. Parents were then directed to the football field. Amid the chaos, Clark found Ethan sitting on the bleachers. "I have directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School and urge all Georgians to join my family in praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state," Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said in a statement.
