PHILADELPHIA - Schools in Williamstown were placed on lockdown early Friday morning before being closed for the day due to a security threat.
Police from multiple departments, including Rowan University, could be seen outside of the Williamstown High School. A parent tells FOX 29's Steve Keeley that they were alerted via text that a security threat was being investigated by the Monroe Township Police Department.
Monroe Police posted an announcement on Facebook saying, "The Monroe Township Police Department is aware of a possible school threat.
We are actively investigating this threat. All students are safe. This is an active investigation, no additional information will be given out at this time." Police have not released information about the type of threat or how widespread it was.
