Stoughton Police Investigating Threats At O'Donnell Middle School

STOUGHTON, MA — There's an increased police presence at O'Donnell Middle School, following an anonymous Snapchat post, which referenced song lyrics about a school shooting.

Police said a student received the social media post Sunday night which said:

"Don't come to school tmr (tomorrow). I'm listening to pumped up kicks and I got an idea. Just don't come to school."

An initial police investigation did not find a credible threat.

A Facebook Statement from Stoughton Police said:

We are working closely with the O'Donnell Middle School administration and staff and we have added an increased police presence throughout the day. We have taken further steps to ensure safety that we will not disclose, but you should see an increased police presence after school as we had this morning.

As with any incident of this gravity we would highly encourage you to speak with your kids about saying something when they see something. We applaud the student who alerted us to this. Be a strong fixture in your child’s social media access. If anyone has any information regarding this please call us at 781-344-2424.
