Threats force N.J. school district lockdown after Charlie Kirk shooting comment falsely blamed on employee

A New Jersey school district was forced to shelter in place on Thursday after it received threats of violence related to a controversial social media post referencing the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Linden police issued a statement Thursday afternoon saying that the person responsible for the inflammatory video about Kirk’s assassination was erroneously identified as a district employee.
“The individual referred to is not, nor has ever been, an employee of Linden public schools (in) Linden New Jersey,” police said.
