Richboro Middle School Lockdown

A lockdown occurred on Monday and was prompted by a teenager who said via Snapchat they had an AR-15 assault rifle and planned to come to Richboro Middle School. After a student notified the principal of the threat, the school was locked down and police went to the teen's home. During an interview with officers, the 17-year-old admitted to posting the threat but did not possess an AR-15 and did not actually plan on going to the school. Authorities did not say where the teen lived but did say he or she is not a Richboro Middle School student. The lockdown was organized by staff and began around 11 a.m. It lasted to approximately 12:20 p.m. The threat not only put Richboro Middle School on lockdown for more than an hour, but also briefly locked down the nearby Richboro Elementary School. According to Northampton Township Police, the 17-year-old is being held at the Juvenile Detention Center awaiting a hearing.
