Two New Jersey high schools in neighboring districts were placed on lockdown Friday after authorities say the schools received threats of violence that named specific employees.
A massive police response converged on Williamstown High School around 6:30 a.m. Officers armed with long guns guarded the school entrance, as parents were alerted via text that a security threat was being investigated.
Later in the day, authorities responded to nearby Winslow High School after police say they also received a threatening email that called out specific employees. All schools in the Winslow Township School District were locked down as a precaution. In a Friday afternoon update, police said the faculty members named in the threatening email are not members of the Monroe Township School District. The employees, according to police, work in a neighboring district and local authorities were notified.
