Reply to comment by bartnd in WPS: Silent on Elementary Student Safety. by 7NerdAlert7

this may have been a conscious decision as to not alarm the entire school system about an unrelated, isolated incident where precautions were being taken only out of an abundance of caution.

You will always have that type of silence being put up against the rumor mill of the neighborhood Facebook pages. Multiple people in the community heard the shots and saw the activity. Wouldn't it be best for some government entity (at this point I don't care who) release a simple statement to say this happened, We're on it, You can send your kids to school?

This helps to control the narrative as well as bolsters the trust between WPS/WPD and the community!

Radio silence only hurts them.
