Friday's events

[x-cyclops.livejournal.com]

As Kyle's mentioned in his journal, there was an incident at the rally on Friday with Sabertooth, whom you're all at least familiar with from the list of people in whose vicinity you should strive not to be. Kyle found himself in a situation where that wasn't possible, but handled himself extremely well - because he did precisely what he should have done, the staff there were able to intervene and prevent Sabertooth from doing what he was there to do.

I hope you'll all bear with me, in that I can't get into a lot of details as to why - we've been talking a great deal to the Secret Service, understandable in a case where there's been a serious threat to someone like Senator Creed, and need to keep certain things confidential. Suffice to say, that is why Sabertooth was there, and that's why we had to keep things relatively quiet until things were resolved with the authorities. The fact that we had an unexpected emergency trip yesterday got in the way of doing that, but at this point, all of those issues are settled.

I just wanted to emphasize that this is not a case of him targeting the school or a particular student. The Senator was his objective, and we have no reason to believe that he has any interest in anyone here at this point. I will say, however, that Kyle's actions on Friday made it very clear again to the staff how important the emergency procedures we hammer into your heads are. When they're needed, if they're followed, they work precisely as they're supposed to work.
