NORTH BERGEN AND BEYOND -- Rumors circulating around North Bergen High School and on the internet of a "gun threat" on Thursday apparently had their basis in something written on a bathroom stall, police said Friday.

Deputy Chief Robert Dowd said, “I wouldn’t call it a threat. There was a message written at the stall on a bathroom...that caused some concern for school officials. Our police officers responded...and conducted an investigation. We didn’t deem the threat to be actually a serious threat but the school had opted to enhance some safety procedures as a measure of caution. The Police Department was there to help support [the school] with procedures and protocols. They had enhanced some procedures for the 7th [Thursday] because that’s the date that message mentioned. Their goal was to reduce any type of disruption to the educational environment.”

One student stated in a public post Thursday on Facebook that he was going to "hide like a pro" if "a shooting happens tomorrow at North Bergen High School."

On Friday, the student posted, “So their was no shooting in school today. Their were police officer all around hallways {sic].”
