2 schools in lockdown after possible swatting incident, police say

Holmdel Police Patrol CarNJ.com – by Ashley Peskoe

HOLMDEL A middle school and high school were placed in lock down Tuesday morning after a possible hoax report, police said.

In a post on Twitter, Holmdel police said the possible swatting incident happened at The William R. Satz School and both that middle school and Holmdel High School were placed in lockdown.  

The middle school was cleared and students were allowed back in around 11:30 a.m., police said.

Swatting typically refers to a hoax call or message conveying a threat to a location. The nature of the threat was not clear.

Officers were on the scene around 10:20 a.m. and said everyone was safe. Police also encouraged parents not to go to the schools.

Other schools in the area, including Village Elementary School and Indian Hill School, were also secured, police said.

In the past few months, police in Monmouth County have responded to several hoax calls. On March 31, Village Elementary School was locked down and evacuated after a false report of an armed person on the roof of the school.

Last month, authorities were alerted to a claim that a hostage was being held in Upper Freehold.

  1. its probably a bullshit call.. meaning no “SWATTING” got called in..

    what this is, more than likely. is called “conditioning” so all these kids get the shit scared out of them and become further dependent on law enfarcement
    and will be made to believe they were protected by this set up act

  2. OR, it’s a couple of the kids in school looking to get out of one class or another and thought the smartest way to get out of it was to make a prank call. My bet is on the kids. How many kids in school today don’t have phones???

    1. yeah could be,, but I’d bet a dollar if that were the case ,,the cops would be making sure we all knew who they were and probably at least one of them woulda been shot by now while holding that phone

  3. “… a possible hoax report, police said.”

    How concisely vague of them.

    “The nature of the threat was not clear.”

    Unless one has consumed the RED pill. Then it becomes abundantly clear.

    The pigs/lockdowns themselves are the threat.

  4. Ok people, it’s not always a NWO/illuminati/jade helm/Jew plot. Sometimes Jersey kids are just acting like assholes.

  5. This school lockdown crap shouldn’t be taken lightly. I was thinking the other day that when the hammer falls this would be the perfect way to start a roundup. Lock the schools down,pick your false flag type here, then have the schools require a parent to pick up the child. Once you have one parent, require the other to be present for release.
    If you live in a city that has 100 schools with a student body of 2000 each, and with both parents makes 6000 body’s. With 100 schools, that’s 600,000 body’s in lock down give or take a few with not much effort. When your talking roundup this would be something to look out for.

  6. Damn, I thought a ‘swatting incident’ was when a whole SWAT van got ambushed…ala GTA.
