More social media threats, more lockdowns and few answers for worried Wake parents

Parents of students from Raleigh to Zebulon scrambled to pick up frightened children, to calm fears and to raise questions after six schools endured some level of lockdown.

No concrete evidence of a weapon or an attacker was found at any of the school locations, and no one was injured, but there was plenty of worry and pointed fingers.

"Everybody was already freaking out and when they called the lockdown, everyone freaked out," said EMMMS student Marlo Daniels Gordon. "Everybody started running into my teacher's office. We turned out the lights, and my teacher isn't here so everyone started kinda going crazy."

In Zebulon, parents gathered near the campus and numerous law enforcement vehicles were seen parked on surrounding roads. Brooke Young, the mother of an eighth grader at the school, spoke with WRAL News.

"She was messaging me, like 12 messages this morning," she said. "'Mom, we’re on Code Red.' 'Mom I'm so scared.' I found a babysitter and I came up here."

“We had a social media threat that we needed to take very seriously," said Zebulon Police Chief Jacqui Boykin.

While officers searched the school from room to room, parents could only wait.

Deanna Faison said it was a relief just to put eyes on her daughter.

"My nerves have been all over the place," she said.

“I don’t think folks understand the gravity of what is occurring here," Boykin said.
