5. SOUNDBITE (English) Barbara Wiers, Director of elementary and school relations for Abundant Life Christian School:
"We are so grateful from the president up to the governor, the mayor, we have had so much support. This has obviously rocked our school community, but we know it affects not just our school community, but Madison and the greater area and all schools. And so our hope is that there will be some good that comes out of this as we can learn and grow and continue to support other schools."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Barbara Wiers, Director of elementary and school relations for Abundant Life Christian School:
"The students handled themselves magnificently. I cannot cannot tell you how well our students did in that process. They were clearly scared when they realized. When we practice, we always say "this is a drill. It is just a drill." When they heard"locked down, locked down" and nothing else, they knew it was real. But they handled themselves brilliantly."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Chief Shon Barnes, Madison Police Department:
"If you’re listening to this or you’re at home, you’re thinking about reposting or sending something that did not come from someone in this room, a trusted and respected journalist or did not come from us. Please don’t do that. Because to answer the second part of your question, what that does is it does help erode the trust in this process. And that’s all we have."
++BLACK FRAMES++
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Chief Shon Barnes, Madison Police Department:
"Yeah, that’s what the officers and detectives are working on now. Hopefully this afternoon at our fourth press conference, I’ll be able to answer that a little bit further. But right now, I cannot tell you they are still talking to parents who are cooperating. And so hopefully we’ll be able to give you a more detailed response as to any warning signs or anything that we may have possibly known prior to this."
