Just prior to 3PM on February 22, 2023, an APD patrol officer assigned to the School Resource Unit (SRO) was notified by Wendler Middle School staff that a student had made a verbal threat to cause harm at the school.  Multiple students overheard the threat, and it was reported to school staff.  The student was contacted, an investigation was conducted, and charges were subsequently forwarded to the Division of Juvenile Justice.

No weapons were found on school grounds.

If you see something, say something.  APD is grateful for the immediate notification to authorities once the threat was made.

APD Case 23-6061
