TOMS RIVER – High School South was put on lockdown this morning as a precautionary measure.
A robocall went out to parents to let them know of the situation. A second robocall updated the public, saying “There is no threat to the school and students are currently in ‘shelter in place.’”
A third robocall told parents that the shelter condition was instituted in order to vet a concern that a student brought to a teacher’s attention. They said police came right away.
Toms River Police posted on social media: “Out of an abundance of caution, we currently have multiple police units at Toms River High School South for a shelter in place due to a female student concerned an acquaintance may come to the school to fight. There is no threat of weapons. Officers will remain at the school until the investigation is complete. We are asking parents not to respond to the school.”
