One day after a still-at-large-sniper shot at an upper Manhattan school, education officials said they are beefing up security to protect students. Additional school-safety agents were dispatched to IS 218 in Inwood yesterday after slugs shattered two windows there Tuesday afternoon, authorities said. In addition, parents received a note informing them of the incident and urging them to talk about it with their children. No one was injured in the 2:30 p.m. shootings. The 200 summer-school students had already left for the day, and the 100 youngsters who attend camp there were in a neighboring park, said Kelly Devers, a Department of Education spokeswoman. "I was mad scared when the cops told me what happened," said eighth-grade summer student Katherine Calderon, 14. "I was scared to come in the building." She said she noticed extra police when she arrived for classes yesterday. "That made me feel better," she said. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nypost/20050707/lo_nypost/bulletsputscho olonsniperalert |
