"A text messaging error has resulted in the temporary closure of two US schools. The education institutes in West Hall, Georgia were locked down after a handset&amp;#039;s autocorrect feature added the word &amp;#039;gunman&amp;#039; to an outgoing message, sparking widespread concern, The Gainsville Times reports. &amp;quot;The school system always relies on law enforcement for school safety and anytime they request a lockdown we go with that request,&amp;quot; said Gordon Higgins, Hall County Schools spokesman. &amp;quot;We always take every precaution concerning a potential threat or danger.&amp;quot; The text, sent to a resident of the West Hall community, was intended to read: &amp;quot;Gunna be at west hall today&amp;quot;, only to become &amp;quot;gunman be at west hall today&amp;quot;, leading to the recipient alerting local law enforcement. Sergeant Stephen Wilbanks of the Hall County Sheriff&amp;#039;s Office commented: &amp;quot;It was a combination of odd circumstances. We want to emphasise that the recipient did the right thing in reporting the message.&amp;quot; The autocorrect feature often leads to comical text message blunders, with entire websites based on the theme attracting scores of visitors daily. &amp;gt; More odd news &amp;gt; More tech news "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
