DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT!

With the tragic high school shooting in Ohio this week, schools are on high alert. This HAS to be the first time a school has been LOCKED DOWN because of AUTOCORRECT.

Yesterday morning, a parent in Oakwood, Georgia got a text message that read, quote, “gunman be at west hall today.” West Hall is the name of the local middle school and high school, so the parent called the police.

They told school officials . . . put both schools completely on LOCKDOWN . . . and sent tons of cops to the schools. Meanwhile, they traced the text message.

And thankfully, there wasn’t a gunman . . . it was an AUTOCORRECT. The person sending the message typed, quote, “gunna be at west hall today” . . . and the iPhone changed “g-u-n-n-a” to “gunman.”

Also, the sender had sent the text to the WRONG NUMBER . . . which is why the parent who got it didn’t recognize who it was from.

The lockdown was lifted after about two hours.
