On Friday, maintenance on an active-shooter alarm system at the school caused petrified students to flee the building. An active-shooter alarm accidentally went off at Framingham High Friday, sending several terrified students running from the school. There was no shooter and no threat to the public. The false alarm went off at 10:20 a.m. as a maintenance worker changed the system's battery, school officials said. Framingham Schools Superintendent Robert Tremblay told the MetroWest Daily News that shaken-up students were allowed to take the rest of the day off from school.
