Breaking News: 15 Students Killed in Devastating Shooting at Hackettstown High School — Report Unverified
Hackettstown, NJ – May 25, 2025 — In a report that has rapidly gained traction online, claims have emerged alleging a mass shooting at Hackettstown High School resulting in the deaths of 15 students. However, as of this publication, no official sources — including local law enforcement, school officials, or major news outlets — have confirmed the incident.
Hackettstown High School, located in Warren County, New Jersey, serves nearly 900 students and has historically maintained a safe school environment. The alarming report has sparked widespread concern and confusion across social media platforms, prompting parents and residents to seek immediate answers.
Authorities have not issued any statements regarding a potential threat or ongoing investigation at the school. The Warren County Prosecutor’s Office and Hackettstown Police Department have not confirmed any emergency response at the campus today.
This claim bears eerie similarity to a 2012 hoax, when a South Korean national was convicted for falsely threatening a shooting at the school. That incident led to a temporary lockdown but no injuries were reported.
At this stage, the community is urged to refrain from spreading unverified information and await official updates. Misinformation during a time of heightened emotions can lead to unnecessary panic and harm.
Hackettstown High School administration has not commented on the current situation, and the school’s website remains unchanged, showing no alerts or closures.
This is a developing story. We will update this article as soon as more credible information becomes available from verified sources.
