njluger 5 Posted March 26, 2012 To any members in Hackettstown, stay safe! There's a report of an armed man running around. The High School has been put on lock down (http://www.hackettst...ite/default.asp) and people I know at Centenary College are getting alerts via the college's alert system. http://jefferson.pat...hackettstown-hs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnp 45 Posted March 26, 2012 Hopefully it's another mistaken umbrella incident, and no one gets hurt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

forayzor 1 Posted March 26, 2012 supposedly the perp called the cops from a "blocked number" and said he has an "ak" my girlfriend goes to grad school there and is getting messages to her phone and relaying them to me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeteF 1,044 Posted March 26, 2012 supposedly the perp called the cops from a "blocked number" and said he has an "ak" Heard the same. I think this is a person with an agenda. Either trying to get his 15 minutes or a guns are evil type. As far as I know no one has seen this man with a gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jsko 0 Posted March 26, 2012 It has been crazy here all morning. NJSP Helicopters still flying around overhead. Apparently someone called in a threat, saying they are in the woods outside the school with an "ak47". On our local news, they did say a Quick Check was robbed, during the same time, and someone was shot. Can't say anything is a reliable source, as I didn't hear about it on any scanners. They are pulling over anyone in block coat/sweater, or with a backpack. All schools have been on lockdown, and NJSP has setup some road blocks out of town.

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted March 26, 2012 Hope it turns out to be BS, but the one comment about a robbery at the same time makes you wonder if it wasn't a call to divert focus. (null) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(null) Yup when I heard that, I figured that was the case. Until anything gets confirmed I am thinking its all BS at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forayzor 1 Posted March 26, 2012 "Lockdown is over 1:55pm thanks for your cooperation" As per the notification system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jsko 0 Posted March 26, 2012 Yea, they are saying it appears to be a hoax, but are further investigating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njluger 5 Posted March 26, 2012 Glad there was no tragedy here. It's sad in this day in age, but it's better to be cautious with all the crazy things going on. I hope they get the a**hat that phoned in that original call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialK 193 Posted March 26, 2012 If it was a hoax and they can catch the guy and prove it was him I say he deserves the same punishment as someone who actually shot up a school. We need harsher penalties for stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krdshrk 3,878 Posted March 26, 2012 I bet it was a kid calling in an "AK scare"... just like those damn bomb scares when I was in school. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
