A Haverhill High School student was arrested Thursday afternoon after reporting what, police and school officials say, was a false threat. Haverhill Police said it received a “report of a potentially armed student making threats,” but no weapons were found and one student was arrested. Typically, names of minors are not released. At about 12:45 p.m., school officials reported, the high school first learned of, what was described as, a “rumor” and “the high school immediately went into lockdown and Haverhill police responded appropriately.”
“After their initial investigation, they deemed there was no threat to any students or staff at high school. The lockdown has been lifted.
