Threat Prompts Shelter-in-Place At Burlington County School
WESTHAMPTON, NJ (CBS) – An unspecified threat has prompted a Burlington County school to issue a shelter-in-place.
The non-specific threat reportedly came into the Burlington County Institute of Technology in Westhampton around midnight Monday.
CBS3's Cleve Bryan spoke with Christopher Manno, superintendent of the Burlington County Institute of Technology and Special Services School District, about the incident. He says police and K-9s did a sweep of the school before students arrived Monday.
Once students arrived, Manno says they reported to the auditorium before the school day began.
The school is currently under a shelter-in-place order while police investigate, which Manno says means there is heightened security and an increased police presence.
Students are expected to be dismissed on time.
