'I am so sick of it!': Tamra Judge breaks down while sharing daughter's texts during school lockdown
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CALIFORNIA: Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge's teenage daughter, Sophia, was left “traumatized” after experiencing a school lockdown on Thursday, April 13, after being panic-stricken by an armed intruder. Judge, 55, broke down in tears and spoke about one of parents' worst nightmares and shared a series of texts from her daughter saying, "No parent wants to get."
Judges' harrowing plight comes from the frustration with the pileup of school shootings in America, with the most recent being the Nashville school shooting, where Audrey Hale, 28, fatally shot six people, including three nine-year-old children, before being shot dead by the MNPD on March 27. Only four months into this year, 13 callous school shootings have been reported across America, resulting in the loss of countless lives.

Tamra Judge explains the horrifying nightmare at her teen daughter's school
San Juan Hills High School in San Juan Capistrano, California, was placed under lockdown after a man trespassed on campus and informed security guards he had a weapon, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday, according to KTLA. Fortunately, the intruder was arrested, and police found the weapon he was carrying a pocket knife. Sophia went on to inform her 'RHOC' mother that she was "hiding right now" and "heard police sirens," but did not know if "there was a shooter." "Not a drill," she texted Judge. "We're being locked in the classes with the lights off."
The 55-year-old TV personality, who shares Sophia with her ex-husband Simon Barney from their marriage in 1998 to 2011, posted an emotional video detailing the nightmare and said, "I want you to know everything's okay and they caught the guy. But, there was someone who came into my daughter's school today [with a weapon]," the wife of Eddie Judge revealed through tears. "The kids are traumatized. The teachers are traumatized." Judge described how students at her daughter's school laid on the floor after barricading their classroom "door with bookshelves." "One teacher handed out hammers. Another had a fire extinguisher ready to go another somebody," said Judge.
'I'm so sick of what's going on!'
The mother-of-four shared screenshots of messages from her teen daughter, adding that these are texts "no parent wants to get." Judge further added that the kids were crying out that they didn't "want to die" and as a parent, she felt "helpless" reading Sophia's messages. "There's nothing you can do in this f**king world. I am so sick of it. I'm so sick of what's going on. My daughter, now, doesn't want to go back to school. It's her senior year. This has got to stop," she concluded.
