“There has been an incident at the Turkey Thicket Recreation Center, but all children are accounted for and safe. The building is on lock-down.
MPD is currently on the scene. There are no reported injuries at this time.
Because the building is on lock-down, children will not be released until the lock down is lifted. Again, all participants are accounted for and safe.”
The parent hears that a gunshot accidentally went off in the pool area from someone who brought a gun in their bag.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
