Not in this school year. But Wheaton-Glenmont has been a hot spot for A LOT of activity over the last few years.


Sorry- this is 2nd time Edison has been in a shelter in place. First one was 9/9 when a non MCPS student entered the Edison building


Yep. That time the threat had rubber mallet.

We were in lockdown twice today at Wheaton. Came out of the lockdown just to go back into lockdown a few minutes later.

It's because Americans value their guns more than their kids. No other developed country lives like this.


No. It's because local politicians value virtue signaling more than they value our kids.


Ding ding ding.

MCPD can crack down but the criminal justice system in MD favors criminals, so it's not like much is going to happen once MCPD makes arrests.

Did they actually say it was a false alarm?

Sounds like they need to crack down on false alarms.

MCPD just put out the alert so there's not much info, but here's the alert as picked up by MoCoShow:

SOURCE: https://mocoshow.com/2024/09/13/wheaton-and-edison-high-schools-currently-on-lockdown-due-to-report-of-individual-with-handgun-near-campuses/

Wheaton High School and Thomas Edison High School are both on lockdown Friday morning due to the report of an individual outside of the school campuses with a handgun.

Montgomery County Police issued the following at 8:58am: “Wheaton & Edison high schools are currently in a shelter in place following a report of an individual outside of the school campuses with a handgun. MCPD is on scene and working to confirm the validity of the report.”


Wheaton parents, keep us posted as and if you learn more.
