Rumson police issued the following press release concerning the originally reported lockdown at RFH earlier this afternoon:
Shortly after 11:30 a.m., the Deane Porter School (Rumson) received a call reporting a bomb in the confines of the school.
The facility, and neighboring Forrestdale School were evacuated by administration. Multiple police agencies responded with K-9s that swept both schools without incident. All students and personnel are safe.
The matter is currently under investigation.
Monmouth County Police & EMS have just issued an alert that Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) is in a lockdown.
Authorities, on the entity’s Facebook page, only said that RFH is in a “shelter in place” mode for “precautionary reasons,” not citing what those reasons are.
The alert means that no community members are allowed into the building at this point, according to the Facebook post.
No further information is available at this time.
R-FH Retro will update this post when more information becomes available.
Rumson police were not available for comment.
Notice from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School: Please be advised RFH is in a “shelter in place” for precautionary reasons. We will not allow community members into the school building.
