Mount Everett School Locked Down Over Threat

SHEFFIELD, Mass. — Mount Everett Regional School was put in lockdown Wednesday morning following threats made by a student. 
 
According to the Berkshire District Attorney's office, both local law enforcement and the State Police Detective Unit assigned to the DA's Office responded to the school. 
 
Based on the law enforcement response, the DA's Office stated, there is no active threat to the Mount Everett Regional School community.
 
The threat apparently rose from a statement, or manifesto, posted online that has since been removed. The Berkshire Eagle said it was able to obtain the document and described it as "a hate-fueled screed that includes antisemitic, anti-gay sentiment."
 
The paper also reported, based on information from a parent, that up to three students may have been involved. The very brief statement from DA's Office on the incident referred to "a student."
 
Wednesday was a professional development day for educators and a half-day for students.
