Police are investigating after they were made aware of a student at Sharon High School with an alleged “hit list.”
Authorities were notified on Friday by school administrators of a student in possession of a "hit list" in Sharon, Massachusetts.
Sharon police said the Sharon High School student is safe and there is no ongoing threat to the people on the list or anyone else.
According to authorities, everyone on the list has been contacted.
“Open communication between parents, the schools, and the police, is fundamental to keeping Sharon a safe place to live,” Police Chief Stephen Coffey said. “I am thankful to the school department for their partnership, and to Sharon Police School Resource Officer John Marsinelli, who worked with school administration to assure the safety of all involved.”
NBC10 Boston spoke with one Sharon High School student who said she was glad the situation was addressed so quickly.
"I'm very happy that they were able to do it so quickly and without any form of commotion really that I heard of," Cree Bisson-Donahue said. "I think that makes me feel secure in our school system."
The superintendent did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Police said the incident remains under investigation.
