We didn’t know why the lockdown was issued but we all knew immediately what to do. Follow instructions precisely. Images of Columbine, Sandy Hook and San Bernardino flittered through my already active imagination. After 10 minutes, we were released. When I walked home my Mom hugged me tight, relieved that a tragedy did not take place. The lock down involved El Segundo High School (9-12) and Richmond Street School (K-5). The impetus of the lockdown was when El Segundo police officers responded to the 300 block of West Palm Avenue around 11:20 a.m. in pursuit of three burglars. A “Shelter in Place” was issued at El Segundo High School and Richmond Street School as the Police Department searched for the armed burglars that were believed to be in the vicinity. Officers apprehended two burglary suspects and were in pursuit of the third. The initial lockdown was lifted after 10 minutes, but was reactivated at 12:10 p.m. when more police activity related ensued. The second lockdown lasted 10 minutes. During the lockdown, students were to remain in class until it could be confirmed the schools were no longer in danger. The lock down was Obituaries Shirley J. Williams Shirley J.

A team from the El Segundo High School Engineering Pathway Senior Capstone class has jumped into a nationwide competition to design a pod for the new Hyperloop transportation system. The Hyperloop, a high-speed ground transport concept first proposed by SpaceX and Tesla Motors co-founder Elon Musk in 2013, has the potential to revolutionize modern transportation. The team, called the HyperEagles, consisting of Oliver Chen, Gavin Glynn, Henry Smith, Luke St. Regis, and Julia Taylor entered the competition as their Senior project. After reviewing the designs the competition has invited the team to attend the final design weekend on January 28-31 at Texas A and M. More than 100 university teams from around the world will present their design concepts to a panel of judges on how to transform the Hyperloop from bold vision to reality. Top teams will move on to build their pods and test them at the world’s first Hyperloop Test Track being built adjacent to Space X’s Hawthorne, California, headquarters in June 2016. •
