The Brooklyn contingency of my family is safe though the kid’s schools are in lockdown.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Apparently my cousin’s kids are mad that they can’t leave the school at lunchtime. And my first thought is seriously minor aged children are allowed to just leave school at lunch and wander around wherever? Is this common these days? Isn’t the school liable if something happens to them during school hours?

At Matilda's high school only seniors are allowed off-campus at lunch.

I think Scola is our only Brooklynite and he's not particularly close to where the shooting happened.

Hec, that makes sense to me, although at my school you had to be a senior and over 18.

Back in my day, only HS seniors were allowed out of the school building, but not off school grounds, and we had to sign out.
