Threat To Holy Ghost Prep School Posted On Instagram: Police

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Holy Ghost Preparatory School was placed on temporary lockdown Tuesday after a former student posted a threatening video on Instagram about the school, police said.

The Bensalem Township Police Department Tuesday received an anonymous tip that someone had posted a threatening video on Instagram directed towards the Holy Ghost Preparatory School.

Bensalem Police notified administrators of Holy Ghost Prep of the threat Tuesday.

The school decided to impose a shelter-in-place order out of an abundance of caution.

A short time later, the shelter-in-place order was lifted. There were no class interruptions, police said.

Police identified the subject as Christian DeFlorio, 30, a former student at Holy Ghost Prep.

Police said that DeFlorio is currently in Miami and is not a direct threat to students at this time.

Police have obtained an arrest warrant for DeFlorio charging him with terroristic threats and related charges. DeFlorio owns a white 2019 Alfa Romeo with red interior bearing PA registration KGE-2435.

Anyone with information about the location of DeFlorio or his vehicle should not approach him, and dial 911 to notify police immediately.
