  • Ridley Middle School in Ridley Park, Pa., notified families Sept. 10 that it had received a warning that a gun would be brought to school the following day. The report came through both the Safe2Say Something platform and a parent Facebook group.
  • Principal John Theodosiades said the school was taking the report seriously and working with authorities to address the situation. He asked families to discourage students from spreading rumors or repeating unverified information and warned that making threats, even as a joke, carries serious consequences.
  • Theodosiades did not disclose additional details about the reported threat, including who may have made it or whether a specific individual had been identified. He said the school would provide additional information as facts were verified.
