Columbine Reference Leads to Quincy Schools Investigation

QUINCY, MA — A reference in a video on social media to the Columbine High School Shooting led to an investigation by the Quincy Public Schools last week.

In a letter obtained by the Patriot Ledger, Central Middle School Principal Rick DeCristofaro told parents that there is no threat to students following the discovery of a video made by students at the school. According to the letter, the students in the video carried a Nerf gun and made references to the 1999 mass shooting.

Students at the school were reassured that the middle school is safe.

The Columbine shooting led to the deaths of 12 students, making it the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
