Fans share their own concerns as RHOC’s Tamra Judge details the incident about her daughter’s school going into lockdown
Reality star Tamra Judge recently took to Instagram to share an important message. The RHOC cast member opened up about a horrifying text she received from her 17-year-old daughter, Sophie, whose school was put under lockdown due to the presence of an armed person on the premises.
Her Instagram story, along with the text message from her daughter, was reposted by user @readsnreceipts. During the clip, Tamra Judge stated that everything was okay, but her voice was shaking as she continued detailing the incident. She said:
"There was somebody who came into my daughter’s school today and they put them in lockdown. He did have a weapon."
The RHOC reality star added that the kids and teachers were traumatized by the incident and had to lie on the floor and barricade the doors with bookshelves. Judge further stated that one teacher handed out hammers while another one had a fire extinguisher and was ready to “go after somebody.” She continued:
"Kids were crying ‘I don’t want to die."
The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member then stated that she felt helpless when she received the text and added that she’s “so sick of what’s going on” and that her daughter no longer wants to go to school.
Following this, fans took to the Instagram post to chime in about the incident and share words of encouragement. While one person said that they hope Sophie is okay, several others commented on the current gun laws in America. One person even criticized the government tweeting that the “Billions” of taxpayers’ money should have been allocated to keep “America’s children safe.”
Fans of the show further stated that “it’s horrifying” to think that children have to go to school thinking that they may not come home. They further referred to the overturning of Roe. v. Wade and stated that the government stops caring about lives once they’re out of a “woman’s belly.”
RHOBH cast member Teddi Mellencamp also took to the social media platform in support of the RHOC cast member and stated that no child should feel unsafe in school and that no parent should have to worry for the safety of their child while there.
As of this writing, no further details about the incident at Sophie's school have been made public.
RHOC season 17 is set to return to screens soon on Bravo.
