Written by Site Hub on July 28, 2022
After a social media threat was made towards the Gate Chili high school campus, the person accused of making a threat online that prompted a lockout is now in custody. The threatening social media post was not made by a student and
students were not threatened. Summer meals and all activities were canceled yesterday but will resume today.
Gates Police Sgt. Matt Pascarella stated: “At about 10 o’clock this morning, the district became aware of a social media post of concern…The Gates Police Department is trying to follow up on every lead we have to see the validity of this post and substantiate it in any way. Sometimes we get erroneous things put out on social media and we do the best we can to verify that they’re real or not.”
