I am a 911 dispatcher for Garfield County (and happened to be on a day off) when I got a text from my son who was at Grand Valley High School wanting to know about the lock down. Not only was my son involved but my Mom lives just 2 blocks from where this whole incident started. I immediatly turned on my scanner to listen to my coworkers handling this incident and I have to say I work with a very professional group of people. The dispatcher handling the situation remained calm at all times and sounded very professional, never showing her stress over the air. Although I worried for the safety of all the residents of Parachute and the safety of my son at the high school, I felt very secure in hearing a great group of people over the radios, protecting the citizens of Parachute. Lets just hope this guy has clamed down, will be found and no one will be hurt.
