DELMAR – A “threat of violence” prompted officials to issue lock outs at two separate schools at approximately 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 3.
Several Bethlehem police patrol cars were parked outside St. Thomas the Apostle School on Adams Place while Bethlehem Central Middle School, less than a quarter-mile away, issued a lock out of its students.
The lock outs were released approximately an hour later. No details were initially shared as to what triggered the reaction.
St. Thomas the Apostle is located less than a quarter-mile from Delmar’s Four Corners. The private, Catholic school enrolls approximately 234 students between kindergarten and eighth grade.
