CBS and the producers of the show, “Under the Dome” is currently under fire for filming a gunfight within a few yards of an Elementary School. The show, based on the Stephen King novel, will feature an episode where there is a gunfight and producers decided to film it in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. The producers obtained all the proper permits needed to do the filming, but apparently didn’t warn the nearby school sending people into panic mode and lead to the school being on lock-down!

The gunfight for “Under the Dome” needed the sounds and look of a real gunfight and filming took place at lunch time for the the students. Because it was just a few yard away from the school, the students outside on the playground were able to also see what was going on and ran back into the school which was put on lock-down by a deputy for 20 minutes. I don’t understand why it was needed to film on a Tuesday afternoon so close to a school? There’s weekends or after school hours and I feel as if there was warning or not, there’s no reason to film something terrible near an elementary school especially after the Newtown tragedy.
