今 天上午，我正在图书馆读书，手机响。电话是学校打来的。称学校接到红色警告，桑尼维尔的三所学校：Homestead High School,Cupertino Middle School and West Valley Elementary School已经被警察封锁／Lock down。校方会及时通知家长，更新最新消息。
我赶紧打电话给一位妈妈。我知道，她的孩子正就读于Homestead高中。朋友在电话中焦急地说，通往学校的交通已经封锁，校园附近警戒很严，没有人和车辆可以进出。她只好等在半路上。
晚上回到家，家里的电话留言录也有学校的通知。虽然最后被证实是虚惊一场，但是美国枪支管理已经到了迫在眉睫，刻不容缓的地步。
不知道，在我们生存的环境里，哪里是安全的家园？
今天（美西时间2013年1月25日，星期五）上午，位于圣塔克拉拉县的桑尼维尔市，库珀蒂诺中学接到电话报案，有人持枪进入校园。警方接到报告后，立刻发出红色警报，并封锁校园进行大面积搜捕持枪嫌犯行动。
红色警报持续两个小时，在中午12时30分解除。受到影响的三所学校分别是：Homestead 高中，Cupertino 中学，和 West Valley 小学。在校园封锁的两个小时中，校园被包围，交通被封路，禁止车辆和行人出入。
警方封锁了交通，禁止车辆和行人出入，采取了地毯式搜索，最后一无所获。最后才获知，是虚惊一场。警方获得的是虚假信息。
Marianne Favro reports from Sunnyvale where three schools were put on lockdown for hours Friday all for a false report of a gunman on campus.

The lockdown was called off at 12:30 p.m.; two hours after it started.
The city of Sunnyvale tweeted, "UPDATE: Search is shutting down. New info indicates gunman was fabricated."
The story began when the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department confirmed a "code red" lockdown was issued for Cupertino Middle School around 10:30 a.m.
The school told parents in an email that the report came from a student who said they saw a gunman on or near the campus.
The suspect was described as a black male with a mohawk, wearing black jeans with holes in them. He was carrying a gun and walking with a limp, according to police who interviewed the student who initially reported seeing the man.
Sunnyvale police and Santa Clara County deputies were on the scene within minutes of the report.
Police had their guns drawn and were actively searching the campus at 11 a.m.. They specifically searched two storage sheds on the field of Cupertino Middle School using bolt cutters to open the locks. No one was inside.
Officers were still on campus with their guns drawn at 12:30 p.m.
A group of students was brought to a nearby 7-Eleven and were gathered in the parking lot there. It appeared the students were in gym class when the lockdown was declared.
Cupertino Middle School is in the city of Sunnyvale. The exact address is 1650 S. Bernardo Ave.
School officials sent out a note to parents telling them not to come to the school to pick up their children.
Homestead High School and West Valley Elementary School, both just a few blocks away, were also on lockdown as a precaution.
West Valley also sent out a letter to parents saying that instruction was continuing behind locked classroom doors and asked parents not to come to the school to get their children. 
Several streets in the area were blocked off including Homestead Road, South Bernardo Avenue, Helena Drive and Wright Avenue.
At 11:30, the Department of Public Safety in Sunnyvale began directing parents to the southeast corner of Mary and Fremont. They called that corner a "staging area." It was being used for the distribution of information and not the place where students were brought. The students

What is a Code Red?
A Code Red/Lockdown Alert is sounded if there is a suspected armed intruder or active shooter on campus or in the neighborhood. The Code Red response is a partnership with local law enforcement and was developed after the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. Code Red is defined as an alert status indicating imminent danger exists to all staff and students. During a Code Red, staff and students must remain within their classroom or within a secured area. If students are in the hallways, they must quickly move to the nearest classroom or to a secure area, remain quiet and follow staff instructions When a school responds with emergency measures, its sole priority is to keep all students and staff safe. Oftentimes, in cases of potentially serious school safety threats, students and staff remain in the building under a lockdown, even after the school day has ended. While these measures are often frustrating for parents who want to remove their children from the school during a threat, all parents need to appreciate that the school has to protect itself from all potential incoming individuals-even if the incoming individuals are parents
