We've got so many agencies from dade and broward out here. just -- we've seen several s.w.a.t. teams go in with full active gear on. again, students coming out, telling us they do know who this student is. another student just came out. you'll have to excuse me, saying a teacher could have possibly passed. this is all information that's coming out. just like anything it's a fluid situation and we have not confirmed any of this information. so, if you're a parent and you're watching this -- hopefully, you can get on the phone with your child and confirm some of -- >> we've been listening to the...
