''Kane said it's also been difficult on the officer and others who responded.
"The mood in our office is quite low," he said. "This is not something we ever expected."

On Thursday afternoon, Evan Hardy Collegiate sent a letter to parents saying there would be no class on Friday and a scheduled football game was cancelled. Students will be permitted to pick up any belongings and officials hope to resume regular classes as soon as possible, the letter says''.
