Delaware student threatens to “shoot up” his school
Delaware State Police will be at Cape Henlopen High School all day today after a student threatened to kill everyone at the school yesterday.
The threat came near the end of the school day while teachers and administrators were trying to break up a large fight on the second floor of the school in Lewes. Police say the 15-year-old student from Lincoln continued to be combative even while most of the other participants in the fight had been broken up.
That’s when the teen made the threats to both teachers and students stating he was going to shoot up the school and kill everyone. Delaware State Police arrived and took him into custody.
The student is facing charges including terroristic threatening, offensive touching and menacing. He’s being held at Stevenson House Detention Center in Milford on $12,500 secured bail.
