Mepham Principal Addresses School Shooting Threat

Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to parents/guardians of students from Wellington C. Mepham High School from Principal Michael Harrington.

On Dec. 22, one of our students was approached at the mall by a 2002 graduate, who made a series of angry and alarming comments about Mepham High School. 

On Dec. 28, the student and her mother were able to positively identify the man in a 2002 yearbook and we contacted the First Precinct.

Yesterday afternoon, I was informed that due to a history of troubled behavior and this most recent incident, the police were going to arrest the individual. 

As more information becomes available, I will update you.
