Police Investigate Threat Made To Everett High School: Mayor

EVERETT, MA — Police are investigating a phone threat that was made against Everett High School Wednesday, Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria said.

A phoned-in threat prompted a lockdown for students Wednesday afternoon around 2:40 p.m., sending Everett police to the campus, the school said.

Dismissal for students was delayed as police worked to examine the school and determine if the threat was real or not, DeMaria said in a Facebook post.

Though the threat was not deemed to be credible, Everett police are still working to investigate where the threat came from, DeMaria said.

No additional information was immediately available, but the school's website says they will provide updates when they become available.
