In the south bay, an all clear from police after a report of a gunman lead to a College Campus lock down for several hours in san jose. It happened at San Jose City college. Abc7 News Reporter john alston is there live with the latest for us. John . Carolyn, that all clear came at 7 45. No shots were fired. No gunman was found. For about four hours, no one was quite sure. Heavilyarmed officers from San Jose City college and the City Police Department swarmed over the campus where hundreds of students were in the middle of their exienl exams. Their final exams. The officers searched all five floors of the technology building. The scarest part of the evening was when the police came in with their guns basically up. On the third floor were journalism students from the San Jose College times who took pictures as the drama unfolded. Reporters and photographers with the best vantage point. They came through the side door, the adjoining classroom and ordered us hands up, drop your cameras, drop whatever you are doing. At which point they told us what they were going to do. They were going to frisk us, check our bags and let us out. The search began around 4 30 when the college Police Departments dispatch center got a call from someone saying they were approached by another person who claimed to see a man in a tshirt carrying a gun near the tech center. Students received text uh alerts and cleared off campus. They were spending the last few days trying to figure out if the calls were legitimate. Again we take everything seriously. We dont let anything to chance. We responded with the sense of urgency that is really necessary when it comes to these types of situations. Police will try to trace that call. It was back in september that they had a drill here on campus to prepare for a possible gunman. No gunman today. Classes will resume in the morning. In san jose, john alston, abc7 news. Thank you. There did not need to be a man with a gun on campus for there to be a situation where people feared for their lives. Karina rusk talked with students who described some of the horror they felt during these tense searches tonight for a gunman that thankfully didnt exist. The lock down at San Jose City college triggered an array of safety precautions. Lights went off and students stayed down, away from doors and windows. Regardless of whether a gunman was ever on campus, the alert itself was real and frightening. Since the doors couldnt lock at that time, they basically barricaded them with desks and tables to make sure no one could get in. That was the scarest part is not knowing where this gunman was and not knowing what we were hiding from. Given the reported threat, they called in San Jose Police which responded in force. We saw officers getting assault weaponry out of the trunks and advancing on the building. We then found a couple of plain clothed cops car pull up with gear. One officer said he took part in active Shooter Training and was ready for any confrontation that might happen. Students who emerged safely from the last two buildings cleared agreed they would do whatever is needed to stop another horrific tragedy from unfolding. Yes, we were all ready. We decided if someone is coming we would be there to comfort them. Any amount of time we can slow them down we will. Some students called loved ones during their two hours in lock down. Others just prayed. We just stayed calm. By the end of the night emotions changed. Fear was replaced by relief and even anger. This is a house of pranks possibly. It leaves me angry that somebody would pull Something Like this less than a week after connecticut. Threats of violence must be taken seriously. But when the act is simply intended to cause chaos, that too is disturbing. In san jose, karina rusk, abc7 news. Obviously we are on the story. Stay on abc7 news for developments. The next newscast is the morning news that begins at 4 30 a. M. The National Rifle association issued its first comment today about the School Shooting in connecticut. The nra says members are shocked and saddened and the organization is prepared to make meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again. In newtown tonight people continue to come in large numbers to offer their condolences to a community shattered by what happened. All the while the funerals continue. Abc7 News ReporterLaura Anthony is there with the continuing coverage of the tragedy. The latest here is that the scene of the tragedy now may never reopen. That is yet to be determined. In the meantime we found local High School Students who were out here tonight tending to a more immediate task. They are the young people of sandy hook who committed themselves to keeping all of the tiny flames burning. Even as the cold, connecticut rains keep snuffing them out. I am just lighting candles since they are all going out with the rain to keep the spirit out and alive and going. While the public memorial grows, the private Funeral Services continue for all of those killed in sandy hook in agonizing succession. It is deep sadness with intense love at the same time. It tears you to the very fabric of your being. At saint rose of Lima Catholic Church in newtown, back to back funerals for sixyearolds. First a service for james mattioli, and then two hours later the tiny white casket of his schoolmate jessica rikos. And except for sandy hook students, most others in newtown returned to classes. Some parents were anxious. As a parent who send their children to school, we want to see them back. We want them to come back home. We wanted to hold them and hug them and love them, and we want them to come back home at the end of the day. In neighboring monroe preparations are underway for this school to receive the sandy hook students. I hope they will be ready to cope with it. I dont see how they could be ready to go back to school anytime soon. As the glare of the spotlight dims in sandy hook, the locals appreciate all of the support they received. But thousand they are ready to move on pry but now they are ready to move on privately. People will be hurting for a longtime, but i think this community will be able to pick up and move back to where they were. Maybe thought back to where they were, but work their way there. And this is the same here in sandy hook. A single connecticut state trooper standing guard. This is the road that leads up to the elementary school. There was some talk earlier this week of getting the school in monroe ready for those kids to return to class sometime this week. But now we understand they will not return to classes until after they have had the holidays at home with their families. In sandy hook, Laura Anthony, abc news. That makes sense. Here in the bay area dozens of mourners came together in pleasanton for a vigil honoring the victims of sandy hook elementary. For one of the speakers the service was very personal. Alan wang has this story from emerald park. It breaks my heart when i see this. This is the holidays. We should be celebrating life. They came shaken and confused. It is likely no one here was more shaken than anne fisher. She grew up with one of the mothers of the victim in newtown. I got a call at 5 30 that night and vicky did not make it. She was one of the teachers that was killed. Across america vigils like this one are popping up for griefstricken people who feel the need to be together and reach out to the victims. I am going to say thank you for doing this for them. I know the people in connecticut would just love this. Amazing grace it was also a chance for people to express themselves. Several kids left letters letters and art work including an eightyearold girl who made this sign. I decided to make the poster so i could make everybody feel happy and make sure everybody else is safe. Before tonight many people didnt know where or how to begin mending their own hearts. Tonight they found a starting point. In pleasanton, alan wang, abc7 news. Stay with abc7 news for continuing coverage of the Connecticut School tragedy.
