Westfield Police Respond to Two Incidents at High School
**WESTFIELD, NJ** – The Westfield Police Department handled two separate incidents at Westfield High School on Wednesday. They responded to potential threats reported via social media and other comments made within the school premises.
Around 8:08 AM, officers reacted to a possible threat mentioned on a social media conversation. The school was placed under lockdown at 8:14 AM, while other district schools followed a shelter-in-place protocol. After a thorough search, the threat was deemed not credible, and lockdown ended at 9:05 AM.
Later, at 11:14 AM, the police were called again due to new threatening comments from within the school. A subsequent lockdown was enacted at 11:19 AM, with other schools again sheltering in place. The second threat was also found non-credible, and lockdown ended at 11:56 AM.
Individuals behind the complaints were taken for questioning, and investigations continue in collaboration with the Union County Prosecutor’s Office. No charges have been filed, and further details will be released as available.
