Keri Stubbe, who has two children who attend Duff Elementary, said she received an alert about the lockdown just before noon. "So, I ran out of work. I’ll probably get fired, but it’s OK," Stubbe said."I knew they were in good hands. Just as a parent, automatically assume the worst things. So, you just want to be with them.""'The teacher said we’re all OK. Everything is fine. Our teachers have [us] in our rooms, and everything’s OK. I just wanted to let you know we’re OK,'" Stubbe recalled her daughter's texts saying.
