Tate High Placed On Lockdown Wednesday Morning
March 2, 2022
Tate High School was on a lockdown Wednesday morning after reports of someone with a gun on campus.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a student with a gun, but there was no issue, according to Amber Southard, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident involved a student that was suspended recently, according to Southard. The student had a letter in hand that stated that he could return to campus Wednesday, but he missed a meeting on Tuesday where that return permission was to have been canceled.
“He did not trespass because he was never trespass warned from the campus before today and had the letter,” Southard said. “He was informed today and sent on his way.”
Shortly after the incident, with many parents still outside the school gates, Escambia County EMS responded for an unrelated call of an adult with a minor medical issue.

Parents-tell your children to stop spreading rumors that there were three gunmen on campus kicking on doors and such. This NEVER happened. Your children are inciting panic and need to stop!
As usual people are over reacting to this “situation”. ECSO had it well under control and it was handled according to protocols. No need to panic, no need to start pointing fingers. As usual the knee-jerk reactions cause more issues than the problem that turned out to be no problem at all. Settle down folks, geez.
Sorry for the typos, but that’s something that gets my dander up, but I should have proof read
If the parent that was driving a white Chevy SUV like an idiot on Tate school road this morning, pass8ng my little sonoma at over 60 moh, your going to seriously hurt or kill someone on that road. IT IS NOT A RACEWAY BETWEEN HWY 29 AND THE HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK MAY BE HAPPENING!!!
I would have had the power to site you, you would have been hit with everything in the bo9k that I could come up with, because we don’t need that foolishness around our schools and neighborhoods!!!
I’m so thankful everything turned out ok but my goodness how things get out of hand. There were people putting online that there was 3 students involved and what kind of weapons they had and all kinds of crazy stuff . People are already nervous until they hear the all clear announcement without all the lies. People who do this : you really need to do better. Again I’m so thankful it all turned out ok cause I have a grand-daughter there and it’s very scary when she text her mom and she’s scared.
Florida virtual doesnt sound to bad rn.
