Tell Us: Was Massive Emergency Response at Parkland Appropriate?

Report of an intruder Friday at Parkland High School triggered a massive police response.

 

The four-hour manhunt for an intruder Friday evening at Parkland High School turned out to be a false alarm, triggered unwittingly by a high school student trying to get in shape for military boot camp.

The student's dress (in flak jacket) and behavior had appeared suspicious to a Parkland teacher, who called the Lehigh County Communications Center. A massive emergency response was ultimately activated.

Now that the dust has settled, take our poll: Was the response appropriate? You can explain your answer in the comments.
