After four days of investigation into ammunition found in a hallway and a rumor of a planned shooting, Emmaus police made no arrests and Emmaus High School will reopen Monday morning.
"All leads to rumors were pursued and to date, none of the rumors have been proven to be credible," Superintendent Michael Schilder wrote Sunday in a letter to the community.
"All leads to rumors were pursued and to date, none of the rumors have been proven to be credible," Superintendent Michael Schilder wrote Sunday in a letter to the community.
A "full investigation" was completed over the weekend, Schilder wrote.
Police and the district administration determined the school was safe and could reopen, Schilder wrote. There will be an increased police presence Monday on campus, he added.
Students who are concerned about their safety will be able to talk to counselors and administrators, Schilder wrote. Anyone with information "regarding the incident" is asked to step forward, he said.
"Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding as we have taken necessary precautions to be able to resume the educational process within a safe school environment," Schilder wrote.
A comment from someone who evidently knows Emmaus high school
Dxxxx Sxxxxxxxxx
Emmaus High School has a Rifle Team which competes against other schools here in the Lehigh Valley; as well as on a State level. In 2014 they were the Pennsylvania State Champions.
The Rifle Team uses .22 calibre ammuniton in Single Shot Precision Target Rifles.
With this basic information; which is well known to school officials and administrators, it would not have been a stretch to consider the fact that a member of the Rifle Team may have had a box of .22 calibre ammunition (there are 50 rounds per box) which fell from a backpack or pocket.
