Safety is a Priority at Southwest

Friday, May 10, 2013
Good afternoon,

This is Bill Smith, principal at Southwest High School. I am informing you of a neighborhood incident that happened this afternoon. Two Southwest students said they were confronted by two adults who were waving a gun from a car. Pershing Park is located about three blocks from Southwest.

The School Resource Officer and a part-time Minneapolis police officer responded to the incident. After searching the area of the park and circling the school building at least twice, police officers determined that there was no danger to students. School dismissed per usual at 3 p.m.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Minneapolis Police Department at 311.

Again, this is Bill Smith, principal of Southwest High School.

Safety is a priority at our school.  Our best  source of information is our students and families.  If you know or suspect inappropriate behavior, please notify the school officials.
