Camden Schools Closed Today Following Threat

Camden schools are closed Monday after a threat of violence was made on social media. 

State Police PIO Jack Keller tells WIBX that a threat of school violence was posted on Facebook 'at a non-specific school building' early Monday morning. State Police consulted with Camden Police and the school superintendent, who made the decision to close schools today.

State Police have also been asked to have a presence at the Camden School District Offices as the investigation continues, Keller said.

This is the second incident involving a threat recently at Camden schools. Last month, parents of high school students received a letter regarding a student who made a written statement about bringing a gun to school. View that here, via our sister-station Big Frog 104.
