I agree about the headline! It is important to be respectful. I live very close to the park & heard the gun shot last night. It is disturbing what happened. This park is the reason we stay in our home here. I hope healing can take place for the victim's families and all who feel unsettled by this occurance. more ›

Superintendent: Glenfield School Principal Mishandled BB Gun Incident
'The entire district is at risk because of the failure of the leadership of the district, not of the principal,' said resident Pamela Cytron.
When the principal of Glenfield Middle School found a student with an imitation firearm in a backpack last month, he mishandled the situation and compromised student safety, which ultimately led to his resignation, said Superintendent Penny MacCormack.
