Threat of School Shooting 10/01/19 
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office through its School Resource Officer at the Amsterdam High School received word of a threat over Snapchat that a male was going to initiate a shooting at the Amsterdam High School on today's date.
The school was immediately put in a lockout, not a lockdown for safety purposes and additional units were sent to start the investigation. The Amsterdam Police and the New York State Police were advised and assisted throughout.
There was never any immediate threats to any staff, students or surrounding buildings/communities.
The suspects were identified and taken into custody. The Sheriff's office currently has two males in custody, a formal release will be developed after processing.
We want to thank the Amsterdam School District, its staff, its students, parents, the community and our law enforcement partners for the cooperation during this event.
Effective at 11 AM today the Amsterdam School will be lifting the lockout status and returning to normal operation.
