One year after a man's threats put a suburban Philadelphia high school on lockdown, a new threat raised alarms at the Montgomery County School.
Methacton High School on Kriebel Mill Road in Eagleville, Pennsylvania issued a shelter in place order Friday morning.
"At approximately 10:45 a.m., Methacton High School administration became aware of a threat inscribed on a bathroom stall," said a message posted to the school's website. "The School Resource Officer and MHS Administration began an immediate investigation, and Lower Providence and State police were notified. A shelter in place (students are in classrooms with doors closed, and will not change classes at this time) was ordered at 11:15 in order to maintain student safety and conduct an investigation."
The school lifted the shelter in place order around 12:25 p.m., said the school's website.
Officers would remain on campus through the rest of the school day to ensure student safety, said the school.
Friday's threat came one year exactly after Methacton went into lockdown after a man allegedly threatened his ex-girlfriend on Instagram. That 21-year-old man was arrested after he threatened harm to the woman's younger siblings who attended Methacton.
