City of Whitehall Press Release

January 29, 2025

At approximately 1:50 p.m. the Whitehall School Resource Officer was notified by a student that another student at the school might be in possession of a handgun.  The SRO immediately contacted other on-duty Whitehall officers who responded to the school.  The Montague Police SRO also responded to assist.  A lock down was established and when officers arrived a sweep of the building was done with staff as the SRO attempted to locate the student. 

The student was located in a classroom and a plastic toy replica was recovered.  The preliminary investigation did not indicate any other students were involved.  The student was secured in the SRO’s office as the rest of the students were released for the day. 

The Whitehall Police Department is continuing their investigation into the incident.  The person involved is a juvenile and no further information about them will be released at this time.
