Most of us were shaken by the firearms incident at Crawley College this week. Many of us went there, or have loved ones who work or study there now, and this was all very close to home. Major incidents like this at schools and colleges are thankfully incredibly rare, and all the more shocking for it. Armed officers attended the college after reports of shots being fired The images of armed police swarming the building will certainly stay with us. The scariest bit is often being caught up in an incident but not knowing exactly what is going on. Art student Ruby Brumwell, 16, was sent with another student to another classroom to get something when the college went into lockdown following reports of shots being fired.
