Officials determine no threat to school, gunman was hunter
North Surry High School was placed on lockdown this morning after a teenager at the school heard a gunshot and reported seeing a man with a gun on nearby property.
However, it appears the gunman was simply shooting geese on his property, according to a Surry County official.
“The hunter was shooting geese on his pond,” said John Shelton, Surry County Emergency Services coordinator. “The teenager…saw the gentleman with the rifle, and they called it in (to the sheriff’s office), which is protocol.”
Shelton said the Surry County Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene quickly, located the gunman, and after speaking with him determined there was no threat to the school.
As of 11 a.m., the school was still on lockdown while the sheriff’s office was officially clearing each room on the campus, which is protocol in a case, but he said the scene would be cleared soon.

So when you hear gunfire around here, do you run and hide every time? Life must suck for you living in Wilkes County.

Joe, I can top that. Did you see the story about Ken Bone's son being suspended because Ken took his son to the range and posted a photo on twitter of his son shooting?

Joey only uses magic bullets. He lets the bullet smell some article of clothing or personal object, and just let's the bullet sic 'em.

You are wrong. No one and I mean no one has ever gotten shot by a stray bullet or hit and was not the intended target.

They may be under the impression a bullet can travel more than three or so feet, Joey.

Jesus Christ I can't believe what the country as come to locking down a school because someone heard gun fire nearby. I just read yesterday about a town who lock down three school over something that didn't even concern the schools or happen on school grounds.
