DELAWARE — On October 25, at around 2:44 p.m., staff from Cape Henlopen High School and Sussex Central High School contacted the Delaware State Police about a troubling image featuring a gun and a threat to the school circulating on social media.

The investigation revealed that the image has been in circulation nationwide for several years.
