One student was taken into custody following an investigation into bomb threats that were made against two Massachusetts schools, officials said.
Methuen Public Schools Superintendent Brandi Kwong said Sunday in a letter to the Methuen Public Schools community that families, students, and staff had notified administrators of an image posted on a social media account making a bomb threat against Methuen High School on Monday.
The Methuen Police Department and Northeastern Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council were then informed of the threat and a full sweep of the high school was conducted on Sunday night, according to Kwong.
In an announcement early Monday morning, Kwong said a high school student had been taken into custody in connection with the threat and that class would be in session as normal.
“We will have school today,” Kwong wrote in a statement. “The NEMLEC team completed a full sweep of MHS late evening/into the early morning and the building was cleared and deemed safe.”
