SRO Responds to Airsoft Gun on Playground Vigilance and Preparation of Students and School Officials

Quickly Defuse a Tense, Unsafe Situation

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) On Friday, February 2nd a student at Washington Elementary brought an Air-Soft pellet gun to school. While on the playground, before school began, other students recognized the gun and immediately informed school staff members. Principal Chad Lueck said the gun was immediately confiscated and the student was brought to the school office. He said we will continue to investigate this situation, along with support from our School Resource Officer Sean Hagen, and ensure the safety of our students and staff. Valley City Superintendent Josh Johnson said, “I would like to commend the action of the students, staff, and School Resource Officer Sean Hagen for responding quickly and appropriately to this incident.” He said, “Valley City Public Schools places the safety of our students and staff first in all that we do in our district. While we do not comment or disclose information about students, we will follow district policy in handling this situation.”

“I was not only impressed with the response by our

school officials at Washington, but also the

situation - and immediately communicating it with

their teachers.” - Valley City SRO Sean Hagen

Phil Chalmers is a true crime writer, law enforcement trainer, youth culture specialist, and a television personality. He is the author of several books, including “Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer” and “True Lies.” He has been researching homicide and interviewing offenders for 30 years, and his work has been featured on dozens of television shows and networks, including A&E’s “Killer Kids” and Fox’s “Crime Watch Daily.” He has interviewed over 200 killers face to face, including teen killers, school shooters, mass murderers and serial killers. His current project is a book and television show about serial killers, and solving cold cases. He resides in Sarasota, Florida and is married to a middle school teacher, Wendi.

Chalmers will be addressing the causes, warning signs and triggers of teen killers, school shooters, mass murderers and serial killers. In a fast-paced and hard-hitting training style, he will discuss dozens of cases and display hundreds of crime scene photos and videos, teaching attendees not only what makes teen killers, school shooters, mass murderers and serial killers tick, but also how to stop them, by learning the causes, warning signs and triggers of these killers. Unlike most experts, authors and trainers, Chalmers talks directly with the

killers themselves, along with getting the first-person crime scene perspective from the investigators who have worked these cases. Topics covered include:

> Causes, Warnings Signs and Triggers of Teen Killers and School Shooters < > Dangerous Youth Culture, cop-killing music, violent video games ands social media <

> The latest trends in Mass Murder and Serial Murder, including the new Profile < > Gangs, Cults, and Crime Prevention <

> School Safety, Home Safety and Personal Safety <
