The Ontario Provincial Police said Friday that another anonymous threat of violence had been directed at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville.

“We cannot speculate on any connection to earlier threats,” the OPP said in a late-afternoon post to social media. “We completely understand that these incidents weigh heavily on students, parents, school staff and everyone in the community. The OPP is continuing to investigate these incidents and is committed to locating those responsible and holding them accountable.”

St. Michael only reopened its doors to students on Wednesday after being closed since Oct. 3 while the OPP investigated a pair of threats to public safety.

There was another threat-based incident on Sept. 13, when St. Michael was temporarily locked down after an anonymous threat had been left on voicemail overnight.

The lockdown was lifted shortly after noon that day, when police determined there was “no actual threat.”
