Police: Photo was no credible threat to Sussex County high schools
LEWES — On Wednesday at approximately 2:44 p.m., Cape Henlopen High School staff contacted Delaware State Police regarding a concerning image of a gun and a threat to the school that was circulating on social media.
Sussex Central High School employees also contacted troopers regarding the same photo, police said.
An ensuing investigation revealed that the image has been circulating nationwide for several years. Thursday morning, state police said they had no intelligence indicating the threat is credible.
However, the agency’s news release said, “be mindful that the absence of intelligence does not mean the lack of a threat. Always call 911 to report suspicious activity.”
