Press release
The Batavia Police Department has charged a 12 and 13-year-old with Making a Terroristic Threat from an incident that occurred on 04/20/2023. The juveniles were attending Notre Dame High School and made a phone call to a suicide hotline.
During the call, a threat to shoot up a school was made, with the addition of it happening immediately. Police officers responded to all schools in the county, placing each school in a “lockout/secure” status. During a “lockout/secure,” no one is permitted to enter or exit the building, but instruction can continue as normal. On-scene detectives were able to quickly determine that the threat was not credible and all schools were released from the “lockout/secure.” Additional information can not be released in reference to the case as all juvenile matters are confidential.
