Threat to Kill 25 Students Led to Lockdown in Weston

Weston High School was placed on lockdown and then evacuated as a precaution because of a threat.

The lockdown began at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, after a teacher found a note with a threat to kill a teacher and 25 students, according to a police source with knowledge of the investigation.

A police officer who was at the school on an unrelated matter was told about the note.

The building was then evacuated and students were moved to other schools as a safety measure, according to school officials.

The note has been sent to the state crime lab for further testing, the source said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.
