Kyle Gonzales
Munford High School exercised a lockdown last week.
Kyle Gonzales, 19, caused the lockdown when he walked onto the Munford High School campus Sept. 19.
According to Tipton County Sheriff authorities, Gonzales said “he came to f*** the whole school up.” Gonzales, a former student at the school, was charged with burglary.
Gonzales allegedly entered the school around 8:30 a.m. through an unlocked backdoor, walked into a classroom filled with students and a teacher, and kept his hands in the pockets of his jacket.
When officers got a chance to search Gonzales, no weapons were found. His eyes were circled in a black substance, reportedly resisted arrest and pulled out a phone, asking an officer to take his mugshot.
When Gonzales was being apprehend and placed in handcuffs, he shouted the phrase about his intentions. “I got my nine inch nails on, I came prepared” and “I can eat dirt all day, the sky is so blue”
Officers said Gonzales appeared to be under the influence of an intoxicating substance.
No one was injured in the incident and all students attending school that day were safe.

Millington Exchange Club Baby Safety Month: Car Seat Refresher
September is Baby Safety Month and the Millington Exchange Club wants parents and grandparents to remember that have a grave responsibility when traveling with a child in the car. Every year there are thousands of young children that are killed or injured in car crashes. Using a properly installed car seat can help greatly to keep children safe.
Hints when shopping for a seat:
No one seat is the “best” or “safest.” The best seat is the one that fits your child’s, your vehicle and is installed properly. Don’t decide by price alone. A higher price does not mean safety. Avoid used seats if you don’t know the seat’s history.
