Good Afternoon:
I am sure many of you have followed the concerns regarding the man with the rifle in Abington Township. Chief Patrick Molloy of the Abington Township Police Department just issued a press release stating that the man has been detained on an involuntary mental health evaluation warrant. The rifle has been secured by the police as well. I provide the link to the press release from Chief Molloy: http://www.abingtonpd.org/involuntary-commitment
We appreciate the hard work of the Abington Police Officers to ensure the safety of our students and our citizens. The relationship that the Abington School District has with the Abington Township Police Department helps us to ensure safety in our schools and for that we are forever grateful.
Regards,
Amy F. Sichel, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Schools
