Bethel High School was placed in a lock-out situation on Wednesday after school officials learned of threats made against students and staff.
School officials said they learned of the threat, a combination of social media and text message, around 8:30 a.m., notified police and did not allow anyone from outside into the building.
As police investigated, they determined that no one was anyone in danger and apprehended a suspect, police said.
Supt. Christine Carver is sending a letter home to parents and guardians about the situation.
“The high school administration was notified this morning of a threat made against the students and staff at the high school. Following protocol, the high school went into and lockout this morning and the Bethel Police were notified. To take extra precaution we also did a partial lock out of the whole campus,” the letter says, in part.
