Haverhill, Mass. — One student was arrested after a threat led to a shelter-in-place order at Haverhill High School on Thursday, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of a potentially armed student making threats located the student in question, according to the Haverhill Police Department.
No weapons were found following a search of the building and the threat was not deemed credible, police noted. The shelter-in-place order was lifted a short while later.
In a statement, Haverhill Public Schools said, “The Haverhill Police Department has fully investigated and found that it was not a valid threat to the school. We thank the Haverhill Police Department and the staff and students of Haverhill High School for their appropriate response.”
It’s not clear if the student will face charges.
There were no additional details immediately available.
