Student Threat To Satz School Not Credible, Holmdel Police Say

HOLMDEL, NJ — A threat made by a student Tuesday, Dec. 17 to Holmdel public schools is not credible, said superintendent Robert McGarry, via Holmdel police.

School administrators said they received word at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday that a potential threat had been made to William R. Satz Middle School.

The alleged threat was communicated verbally between two students following an altercation at dismissal earlier that day, said Holmdel police.

The threat was overheard by another student, who reported it to an adult and ultimately to the Holmdel Township Police.

Holmdel police investigated and concluded that there is no threat. All Holmdel schools will operate on a normal schedule on Wednesday, December 18.

"As a community, when we see something or hear something, we must say something and report it to our schools and law enforcement. Please help us by reminding your children of this and asking them to avoid spreading potential misinformation via social media and instead to first seek the advice of an adult," said McGarry.
