Svoboda notified the assistant principal of Senn High School of a man in some type of uniform with a gun. Assistant Principal Carter Carey walked across the street to speak with Green. Carey asked Green if he was a police officer. Green explained that he was an armed security guard and there was no need for concern. Carey appeared satisfied with this explanation and went back to the school.
