Menlo-Atherton High School was put on lockdown this afternoon (Sept. 10) due to a threat to the school and a former student was arrested, Atherton police said. Someone called the police's tip line to let them know that a former M-A student had posted "concerning content" online about the school, according to a notice sent out by police. Police advised the school to lock down out of an abundance of caution.

The person, who was wearing camouflage clothing and carrying a "long gun," was walking on Pleasant Street in the direction of Nipmuc High School and Blackstone Valley Technical High School around 9:17 a.m., the Uptown Police Department said . The two schools were placed on lockdown as a precautionary measure while officers investigated, police said. An initial search concluded without any findings, and the schools were released from lockdown, according to police.
