OSWEGO – On October 19, at approximately 12:21 p.m., the Oswego City Police Department was notified by the Oswego City School District Superintendent that he had placed all seven of their school buildings on “lockout” due to a suspicious image having been observed on social media that was reported to district officials.
The Oswego City Police Department investigated the situation and identified the student involved.
The student was fully cooperative with police.
After consultation with the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office, it was determined that, although the image (of a student with a gun) may have been suspicious, there were no direct threats made (or intended).
All actions taken by the Oswego City Police Department and the Oswego City School District were precautionary in nature and we do not believe at any point in time the students were in any imminent danger, according to police.
Following the investigation, the student was released and, at this time, there are no pending charges being filed in this matter.
