Delmar High School Social Media Rumor

On Friday morning March 8th, a concerned parent contacted the Delmar Police Department because they had found a picture of one of their children dressed up in “gang” attire holding what appeared to be a handgun. The picture was taken from inside the home. This picture was in no way associated with the Delmar Middle Sr. High School. When questioned as to the location of the gun, the child advised that a friend had the gun. As a result, the Delmar Police Department responded to the school to make contact with the “friend”. During that period of time the School decided to go into a “lockdown” while the Delmar Police Department conducted their investigation. The student along with his personal belongings were searched and no weapon was located. The student was advised by school administration not to discuss the matter, however, the student decided otherwise and told other students about his contact with the police. This evolved quickly into the false allegation that there was going to be a school shooting. This false allegation subsequently began to spread rapidly on social medial Friday morning and throughout the remainder of the weekend.

The gun was subsequently located at the concerned parent’s home and turned out to be an “Airsoft” pistol.

As of Monday morning with the addition of several more student interviews, the Delmar Police Department has concluded their investigation, and the original source of the “school shooting” rumor has been identified. It has been determined that there is no credible threat to the safety of our children and staff at the Delmar Middle Sr. High School.
