Authorities in Ocean County are investigating a reported threat of violence made this morning against Lacey Township High School, though officials say the threat has been determined not to be credible.

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said the threat was reported at approximately 7:10 a.m., prompting an immediate shelter-in-place order at the school as law enforcement assessed the situation.

The response involved the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, the Lacey Township Police Department, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Office.

Following an initial investigation, authorities determined there was no credible threat to students or the public. The shelter-in-place order was lifted around 10:05 a.m., and the school resumed normal operations. Officials said the campus will remain under heightened security as a precaution while the investigation continues.

Authorities are working to identify the individual or individuals responsible for making the threat. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office or the Lacey Township Police Department.

No additional details were immediately available.
