UPDATED: Police: No 'Credible Threat' Made to Stoneham High School

No "credible threat" was made against on Dec. 9, according to a Stoneham Police Department press statement.

"The Stoneham Police Department was provided information by a juvenile and an older teen who wanted to report the content of a conversation that they were made aware of that potentially posed a danger to Stoneham High School," said Police Chief Richard Bongiorno in the statement. "Due to the nature of this report, the Stoneham Police Department immediately contacted the administration of Stoneham High School and initiated a thorough investigation.

"After multiple interviews and other investigative measures, it was determined that no credible threat to the school ever existed."

Bongiorno continued, "The Stoneham Police Department and Public School administrators are more than confident that there is no threat to the safety of the students originating from this report. The relationships established between police and school administrators allowed this investigation to be conducted in an expeditious and efficient manner."

High School Principal Donna Cargill reportedly left a brief recorded message at students' homes Sunday, saying the school spoke with police about the incident and that everything was fine, according to residents. Cargill added that school would still be in session Monday.

Police also thanked the students for coming forward and helping with the investigation.

"Police and school officials are thankful that this situation proved to be non-threatening in nature and purely a misunderstanding," Bongiorno concluded.
