"It’s not often that we have to respond to a scene where we’re not able to provide a support that we normally provide upfront, and that we had to stand back and let law enforcement do their job so we could essentially safely do our job."Art educator Taiye Oladapo had the family’s youngest child Xavier Le, 10, in her class the last two and a half years.
