South Jersey Student Had 'Kill List,' Threatened Gas Bombing At School: Cops

A New Jersey high school student had a "kill list" and threatened to gas bomb the school, police say.

The Linwood Police Department says it is currently investigating these allegations with cooperation from the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.

Several Mainland Regional High School students reported to staff this past week another student had made statements about having the “kill list," according to Linwood police.

The student was immediately removed from class by Mainland staff and later transported to the Linwood Police Department where he was interviewed, along with his parents, police said.

The parents were "supportive of the investigation," Linwood police said in a March 24 news release.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Linwood Police Department Detective Bureau at 609-926-7968.

We'll have more information when it becomes available.
