A bullet casing was found on the grounds of a Whitman School.
Police Chief Timothy Hanlon and Whitman-Hanson Regional School District Superintendent Jeffrey Szymaniak said that at approximately 1:40 p.m. Monday, they were informed that a student at the John H. Duval Elementary School found a bullet casing on the playground.
Police quickly arrived on scene, as did members of Whitman-Hanson administration and it was determined to be a small, rusted, broken piece of a .32 caliber bullet casing that appeared to be old.
Officials decided that there was no need to disrupt the school day as a result, however Whitman Police continue to investigate.
They commended the student for notifying an adult immediately and say there was “no threat present.”
