SCHOOL SHOOTING THREAT

Scores of parents rushed to the Barrackpore East Secondary School on Monday morning to take their children out of the compound.

It followed an emailed threat to shot and kill both students and teachers at the institution on either today or tomorrow’s date.

When our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh visited the school on Monday, most parents were upset that the school remained open amid such a threat; some plan to keep their children at home for the rest of the week.
