"I'm just happy everyone was OK," Lowe said as he walked out of the school about four hours after the incident, according to The Oregonian/OregonLive."I'm happy I was able to be there for the kids and for the community."Parkrose School District Superintendent Michael Lopes Serrao said in a letter to families Friday evening that before the incident two students had informed a staff member of"concerning behavior" by that student.
The outcome was"the best-case scenario, absolutely," Yakots said."The staff member did an excellent job by all accounts, our officers arrived within minutes and went right in."
