Gun Threat at High School Deemed 'Non-Credible'

Teachers and administrators at were told to be on alert for any suspicious activity today after someone threatened on Wednesday to bring a gun to the building.

A school board official said early Thursday that the administration and North Strabane police had “thoroughly” assessed the threat Wednesday and determined that it was “non-credible.”

But the school official added that the administration held a staff meeting at the end of the day Wednesday to ask all members of the faculty to be alert today. A message was also sent to parents through the district’s one-call system.

North Strabane police will still maintain a “very strong presence” at the high school today just as added precaution, the school official said.
