Shaun Alexander to help manage Purcellville’s Fireman’s Field; Elementary school lock down prevented more California shooting victims

Northern Virignia’s daily dose of local and national news for Thursday, Nov. 16.

By Editorial November 16, 2017 at 9:32 am

The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins’ former running back, Shaun Alexander, has agreed to help manage the Fireman’s Field complex through a recent public-private partnership with Play to Win LLC and the Town of Purcellville, where Alexander and his wife Valerie are raising their eight children.

When a Northern California gunman started making his way to the Rancho Tehama Elementary School after killing his wife hours earlier, the school’s secretary decided to put the school into lockdown, ushering children, staff and some parents (who were just arriving as school had not yet started) from the quad area into classrooms and under desks. The gunman tried to open locked doors and randomly shot windows and walls. A bullet wounded one child (who was taken to the hospital afterward) and broken glass harmed others. The shooter, Kevin J. Neal, eventually gave up, going on to shoot those who crossed his path on the Rancho Tehama Reserve. Five people were killed and many injured.
