>> THOSE CHILDREN, OBVIOUSLY, VERY ANXIOUS. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO WAIT A
SECOND LONGER.
FOR THAT REASON, THEY’RE
JUMPING THE FENCE RIGHT THERE.
YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE THOSE
PARENTS WALKING BACK TO THEIR
VEHICLES.
THEY’RE GETTING INSIDE OF
THEIR CARS TO BEGIN THE PICKUP
PROCESS.
AS INSTRUCTED BY FORT
LAUDERDALE POLICE OFFICERS
JUST A SHORT TIME AGO.
THAT GATE STILL LOCKED RIGHT
THERE.
WE DO EXPECT IT TO BE OPEN IN
JUST A SHORT TIME.
>> ROY, THERE ALWAYS SEEMS TO
BE A PLACE WHERE PARENTS CAN
PICKUP THEIR CHILDREN WHEN
THIS KIND OF SITUATION PLAYS
OUT AT ANY KIND OF SCHOOL.
BUT THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE
THE CASE.
ARE YOU FINDING BSO DEPUTIES
TRYING TO MAKE THIS MORE
ORDERLY FOR THE PARENTS AND
THE STUDENTS?
>> CALVIN, WE’RE NOT SEEING
ANY BSO DEPUTIES AT THIS
POINT.
FORT LAUDERDALE POLICE, THE
ONES THAT ARE OUT HERE.
WE ARE SEEING ONE OFFICER.
YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE HIM DOWN
THE LINE THERE WITH THEIR
LIGHTS TURNED ON.
THEY’RE TRYING TO MONITOR THE
CROWDS TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
REMAINS CALM.
YOU CAN SEE CARS ARE STILL IN
SOME WHAT OF A LINE HERE, MANY
OF THEM STILL TRYING TO GET ON
TO THE CAMPUS TO PICKUP THEIR
CHILDREN.
BUT THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING,
LIKE I SAID, FOR MORE THAN AN
HOUR AND A HALF TO GET IN
THERE AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR
KIDS ARE SAFE.
>> THOSE PARENTS ARE PROBABLY
FRUSTRATED, SCARED, WORRIED.
