WINTHROP, Massachusetts — Officials are investigating and at least two schools were placed on lockdown after Police discovered a “suicide pact” conversation on social media.
According to NECN, the alleged pact was between a student from Winthrop and a student from Tewksbury.
The schools referenced in the threats were in Winthrop, Tewskbury, Woburn and Manchester, New Hampshire.
Superintendent John O’Connor said one girl threatened to harm herself, and another student threatened to bring a gun to school.
The third girl involved in the conversation asked if they could get Wendy’s first.
“Tewksbury police notified the WPD detective unit that they had information about a suicide pact that was posted on line,” the email stated. “Based on this credible intelligence a joint command was established at the high school with police, fire and school officials and it was decided out of an abundance of caution to place the school in a hold place.”
An investigation is ongoing.
