Extended Summary
Woody came into the classroom and started yelling at everyone to shut up and sit down. Sally was in the classroom along with Dani and Brodie. He had a bag that he waved around in a threatening manner. Brett told Fisher what was going on, so they evacuated the school. The police outside were ordering Woody out, but he wouldn’t listen.
Sally tried talking to him, but only be told to ‘shut up’. Sally was worried he was going to do something stupid. He really started freaking out when a girl started crying. Brodie went to comfort her, but Woody screamed at her to stay where she was. But then her let the girl go because his dad was outside. Dani made a run for it and escaped. So Brodie asked Woody to let everyone go so they could talk alone. So Woody ordered them out one by one. He wanted Sally to go, but there was no way she was going to leave. Everyone was so relieved when it was all over.
