Blackstone Police Investigate Potential School Threat at Blackstone-Millville Regional High School; Determine Threat Not Credible

BLACKSTONE — Chief Gregory Gilmore reports that the Blackstone Police Department responded to Blackstone-Millville Regional High School Thursday morning to investigate a potential threat directed toward the school community.

Following a preliminary investigation, it was determined the threat was not credible.

Blackstone-Millville Regional High School staff called Blackstone Police Thursday morning, Oct. 16, to report that graffiti containing a non-specific threat had been found in the school.

Following a thorough review, investigators determined that there was no credible threat to the school community and no immediate safety risks to students or staff.

The school remained open Thursday. 

“A thorough investigation ultimately determined there is no credible threat to the school community,” said Chief Gilmore. “We always take any report of this nature very seriously, and our Department worked closely with school officials to ensure students and staff were safe. The safety of our community’s youth remains our top priority, and situations like this are reminders to remain vigilant. To our students, if you see something strange or suspicious, say something to an adult immediately.”
