Northampton Police May Use Student Statements In High School Threat Investigation

NORTHAMPTON – Police are hoping that a statement signed by Northampton High School students to take threats seriously will give them a new lead in their investigation into a Dec. 19 incident that emptied the school shortly after the Newtown shootings.

A threatening note was found in one of the high school bathrooms that day, five days after a gunman killed 20 students and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School inNewtown, Conn. Police and school officials evacuated the building shortly before the normal high school dismissal time.
