Stolen officer's gun leads to school lockdown

[priell3]

The theft of a school police officer's gun prompted police on Tuesday to place Kensington High School on lockdown.

The officer kept the gun in his car - but forgot to lock the car, said Officer Christine O'Brien, a police spokeswoman. But the officer also wasn't sure if he locked his car overnight at his home, so investigators haven't yet determined whether the theft occurred outside his home or outside the high school.

Raven Hill, a school district spokeswoman, confirmed the lockdown but said she had no further information.

Hey Officer, you ARE allowed to open carry in Philly!

Why would you leave it in a car, period, let alone an unlocked one?

Who the hell leaves their car unlocked in Philly anyway, even without the gun inside. Add a gun into the picture and you get a completely moronic situation.


Edit: auto correct got me again.

There are probably cameras practically surrounding the school so they should know by now if the gun was taken from his vehicle while it was parked on site.

Sounds like he's a fallible human like everyone else.

So they won't have to break the windows to get in?

Those little bits of safety glass go everywhere.
