All Tewksbury Schools Locked Down Due to Second Threat Wednesday

TEWKSBURY, MA - One day after Tewksbury and more than a dozen schools received threats, Tewksbury Public Schools were in lockdown again Wednesday morning.

According to Assistant Superintendent of Schools Brenda Theriault-Regan, all of Tewksbury schools received an automated email threat.

Police were notified and dispatched to every school in town, as well as the school department’s security team. A thorough search of each school was conducted, while they stayed in an internal lockdown.

In her statement issued late Wednesday morning, Theriault-Regan said parents should not call or try to come to your child’s school.

“We will continue with the school day as usual and update you with more information as soon as we have it available,” she said.

Threats were also received Wednesday morning at Methuen High School.

On Tuesday, Tewksbury was one of 15 communities across the state that received bomb threats.
