April 7 Threat Also Found in Springfield HS

Cranford and Springfield officials are asking anyone with information to come forward.

School and law enforcement officials are investigating two similar threatening notes found in high schools in Cranford and Springfield.

The threat message was found scribbled on a Cranford High School classroom table and in a Jonathan Dayton High School bathroom stall earlier this week. Both indicated there would be an incident at the schools on April 7.

Springfield's message, according to an official source, was "April 7, 2010, there will be an event to remember."

School officials from both towns called the messages "vague." They have yet to release the exact wording found at CHS.

Superintendent Gayle Carrick said there would be an increased police presence at CHS on April 7. She urged anyone with any information about the writing on the bathroom stall to come forward to a parent, teacher, school administrator or the police.
