Police: Brief perimeter lockdown at Wilmington High School
CLINTON COUNTY, Ohio (WXIX) - Wilmington High School in Clinton County went into a brief perimeter lockdown Tuesday, according to the Wilmington Police Department.
Police say high school administrators reached out to them about a potential threat.
Administrators told police that a Wilmington student was on a video call with someone when they showed the student a firearm. The person on the other side of the call is not a Wilmington student and does not live in Ohio, police said.
In response, Wilmington City Schools and Wilmington Police set up a perimeter lockdown while they investigated.
Police deemed the threat to be not credible and contacted out-of-state law enforcement agencies where they gave them information about the person on the call.
