Moore Schools Administrators warned parents of the situation in a letter sent home with students, Wednesday. “Why did it take so long for this to come out?” asked Stephen Vaughn, while picking up his son after school.

The letter stated the principal was notified of the incident until Sept. 26, one day after the highly-publicized attack at Vaughan Foods in Moore. “Can’t go to school or work, always something to be worried about,” Vaughn said.

Vaughn was already on edge after learning the suspect, Alton Nolen admitted he beheaded a co-worker and stabbed another at Vaughan Foods in Sept. 25. Given the recent events, he said he is even more concerned the Arab man was able to gain access to his son’s school.
