Gunfire Spooks Students at South Miami-Dade School; Lockdown Implemented
A frightening incident unfolded near Pinecrest Academy South Charter in Southwest Miami-Dade, prompting a school lockdown on Friday afternoon. According to authorities, shots were fired in the vicinity of Southwest 151st Avenue and 80th Street - a location just outside the campus grounds.
Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office rushed to the scene, where they discovered bullet casings but no signs of a victim or the shooter themselves. Fortunately, there was no credible threat to the school, allowing officials to swiftly lift the lockdown once it was deemed safe.
In a statement, Pinecrest Academy South emphasized that the shooting did not occur on their premises and that their students and staff were never at risk. All students remained secure in their classrooms until dismissal to their parents/guardians could resume.

just heard about the shootout near Pinecrest Academy South Charter it's so crazy how quickly things escalated and people reacted gotta wonder what was going on beforehand, were there any tensions or witnesses who saw something? hope everyone stays safe 
and schools can get back to being a place of learning not fear 
I'm just glad no one got hurt, you know? The thought of gunshots near a school just freaks me out 
. It's crazy to think about how quick things can go from good to bad, you know? Anyway, just wanna give a big shoutout to all the kids at Pinecrest Academy South - I'm sending you guys positive vibes and hugs 
. We're thinking of you! 
Are schools just a target for whatever? I feel so bad for the parents who have to worry about something like this happening to their little ones.

Guess lockdowns are a good thing in situations like this... safer all around 
i'm not gonna lie though the fact that there was no credible threat and the lockdown got lifted without anyone getting hurt is kinda a relief 
pineapple express isn't going to magically make our schools safe, we need real solutions for this issue 
and the lockdown got lifted so fast? super safe move by the deputies 
gotta give 'em props for prioritizing those students' safety 
i'm keeping my fingers crossed that this incident is just a one-time thing and everyone can go back to enjoying their school days without any more worries 
. and now they're saying the kids in that classroom were safe because there was no victim or shooter? like what if someone saw them from afar? 
the authorities are always so quick to freak out, i'm not surprised they didn't find anything at the scene... but you can bet I'll be keeping an eye on this one for a while.
i drew a little diagram to try and visualize the situation: 
can't help but wonder what led up to that gunshot tho 
. It's like the world is losing its mind, and I don't know how much more of this I can take 
I'm telling ya, this whole thing feels fishy... like something's being covered up. A shooting outside the school, no signs of a victim or shooter, and it was just a coincidence that nobody got hurt? 
Come on, people don't just happen to be walking around with guns fired off in their vicinity without anyone noticing anything. There's gotta be more to this story than what we're being told... I'm keeping an eye on this one, for sure
