PHOENIX - Police found a man's body inside an air duct at Sierra Vista Elementary School, prompting students to be kept in lockdown and taken home early.
Police said that the top of a vent pipe was forcibly removed and the man let himself down the shaft. He appeared to have gotten stuck and could not get out, police reported. While the man's motive was not known, police said they have seen a number of incidents where burglars try to enter through air ducts.

As one of the teachers "being praised" this whole situation SUCKED. The kids didn't know what was going on. All they know is that when we go on lockdown the situation is bad, when they start to evacuate the school that the situation is bad. Kids in every grade were in tears.
But my district, unfortunately, has the mentality "it will never happen to us" (emergency situations). It's quite disheartening knowing the amount of chaos that occured yesterday.
