The lockdown was a shelter-in-place, where teachers and students remained in their rooms until authorities arrived on scene.
The threatening message was sent by a parent to an entire grade-level worth of teachers and named a specific student. Curiously, neither name was in the school’s records, according to Dryden Superintendent Sandy Sherwood,
Dryden police soon determined that the threat had been sent to the wrong school – by about 2,500 miles. The student named in the email attended a school in Dryden, Washington.
Dryden, New York authorities contacted Dryden, Washington authorities, who took the case from there.
