<human>: Hi! I x-posted from jobs. I always get very helpful advice from the people here, so maybe you could help me with this!

I have kind of an unusual situation. I work at a school doing financial aid. It's only been 7 months, but I gave my notice to my employers, stating the reason that I think someone else would be a better fit, and I wanted to focus on more HR related stuff.

However, that's not the reason. I'm leaving because there was an incident involving a student, a gun, and a gas mask. A whole inside drug and gang ring was exposed. Apparently, this has been going on for some time, but my company is great at keeping things quiet.

I feel unsafe. When the police came looking for the student, instead of shutting down the school, the company refused to tell anyone what was going on. We all had to stay. The only reason I know what happened is because I heard the police!

I want to know how much of this I should tell my next employer when they ask why I was there for such a short time. I don't want to seem like I am ratting the company out by telling the truth, especially because they made sure it was kept very quiet.

If I tell my next employer the true reason, are they going to ask my current employer if it is true? What's the protocol on this sort of thing? Thanks in advance!

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Drug and gang ring exposed, student brings gun into school with a gas mask. Should I go into detail on job interviews on why I left after 7 months, when company likes to shove things under the rug?
