Temporary Lockdown Issued At King Philip High In Wrentham

A temporary lockdown was put in place at King Philip on Monday due to the possible presence of a former student issued a no-trespass letter.

WRENTHAM, MA — King Philip Regional High School was placed under a temporary lockdown Monday afternoon out of concerns that a former student who had been issued a no-trespass letter was on or around campus. Wrentham Police Chief Bill McGrath said doors were locked for about 30 minutes about 3 p.m. out of an abundance of caution.

The lockdown occurred after school. Regular after-school activities were resumed when an investigation determined there was no threat to the school. McGrath issued a letter to the school community to inform them of the action.
