Hull Police Investigating Verbal Threat Made at High School

HULL — Chief John Dunn reports that the Hull Police Department is investigating an apparent verbal threat that was allegedly made by a student at Hull High School Wednesday morning.

At approximately 9 a.m., it was reported to the high school main office that a student had made a threat to harm others at the school with a firearm. The student in question was identified, and the Hull Police Department was called immediately.

An investigation was launched by Hull Police and investigators searched the 15-year-old and his belongings, including his locker, and no weapons were found. The school was not placed in a lockdown because the student was with the School Resource Officer on duty following the report to the school office.

Police subsequently searched the suspect’s home with the consent of his guardian and no weapons were found there.

It was determined that there was no credible threat and no threat was made toward any specific staff members, students or faculty at the school.

The Hull Police Department takes all school threats seriously and will continue working closely with Hull Public Schools through the course of the investigation.

As of Wednesday morning no charges have been filed and the incident remains under active investigation.

“As with all school threats, this incident will not be taken lightly and will be thoroughly investigated,” Chief Dunn said. “We were fortunate to have our School Resource Officer on duty, who allowed us to quickly assess the situation and effectively deescalate things, leading to minimal disruption of the school day while ensuring student safety.”

Hull Student Charged After Bringing Bullets to High School

HULL — Acting Police Chief Neil Reilly and Superintendent Michael Devine report that a student has been charged after he brought bullets to the high school this morning.

A 17-YEAR-OLD MALE JUVENILE, OF HULL, is charged with Unlawful Possession of Ammunition.

Around noon, the high school principal received a report from a student that THE JUVENILE had sent them a photo of three .32 caliber bullets. No threats were made.

THE JUVENILE is enrolled in Hull Public Schools’ Satellite program, which services those in special education through part-time instruction at the high school and a separate space located in the central office area at the Jacobs Elementary School.

The high school principal immediately informed the School Resource Officer of the incident, who located THE JUVENILE at the Satellite classroom. The student was searched and was found to be in possession of three bullets.

Police conducted a search of THE JUVENILE’S locker and home. No additional ammunition or firearms were located. Out of an abundance of caution, Hull Police reached out to the Massachusetts State Police to bring their firearms-sniffing K-9s to search the high school, Jacobs school and THE JUVENILE’S residence.

THE JUVENILE was transported to an area hospital for a medical evaluation. He is scheduled to be arraigned at Hingham District Court at a later date.

“We want parents and residents to rest assured that there is no danger to the community,” Acting Chief Reilly said. “We always stress the importance of ‘see something, say something’ and the student did the right thing by doing exactly that.”

“The safety and security of our students is a priority for the district and we commend the student for recognizing the seriousness of this situation and reporting it to the administration,” Superintendent Devine said. “We’d like to thank the Hull Police Department for their immediate response and assistance today.”
