Not what I would call life threatening. Check a map. About a half mile from the school.
Speaking for myself I'm tired of people's over-reaction to any incident involving a gun. There is an attempt by some to make the problem seem bigger than it is to fit their agenda.
"Schools are safer than they were in the 90s, and school shootings are not more common than they used to be".

"The gun murder and gun suicide rates in the U.S. are both lower today than in the mid-1970s."

No agenda here, mate. Just referring to the context of the post itself. I don't think OP had a map to check before texting their dad. As far as they could tell at the time, the shooter was on campus and there was a legitimate threat. OP didn't tell their dad that there was a shooter half a mile away from the school.
I want to avoid political arguments on here, I get enough of them everywhere else.
Don't think she needed a map. Since she's from the area I'm sure she's familiar with the distance from her school and the apartments. She heard no shots fired so it's obviously not in the near vicinity. Maybe the dad saw it unfold on the local news or radio??
Lots of variables. We don't know the OP. There could be the possibility that she tends to over-react. I have a niece like that.
Family has inappropriate responses to school shootings?
