Delaware State Police are investigating after they say a student wrote threats aimed at Indian River High School.

Police began investigating March 9 and learned that a 14-year-old Indian River High School student, who hasn’t been in school since mid-January, wrote threats targeting the high school in a journal, said Master Cpl. Melissa Jaffe of the Delaware State Police.

The Delaware State Police are working with the Indian River School District administration, and there is no concern for public safety or threat to the high school at this time, Jaffe said.

“When made aware of the threats, the counseling staff at Indian River High School immediately notified the school resource officer and building administrators so that the incident could be investigated,” said Indian River School District Superintendent Mark Steele. “As a result, there is no immediate threat to the school. I want to commend the staff of Indian River High School for their timely actions in addressing this situation. This is still an active Delaware State Police investigation and the district will have no further comment at this time.”
