building picA PS 146 student allegedly stated he was going to shoot up the school in a Snapchat post he’s now calling a joke, according to the NYPD 106th Precinct Community Council and State Senator Joseph Addabbo.

The school is not currently on lockdown and the student has been suspended.

The NYPD School Safety Division is investigating the threat.

Addabbo said the situation at the school is under control in a Facebook post.

“The NYPD is investigating the matter and I understand the student has been suspended from school,” he said. “It has been determined that the threat was a hoax and the student stated it was a prank.”

“The students at PS 146 were never under any danger,” he added. “Pranks and threats to the safety of school students must be taken seriously. I intend to follow up with the NYPD regarding this matter.”

He urged anyone looking for more information to contact his office at 718-738-1111.
