Overview
- An 18-year-old who was not a student but was known to prom attendees allegedly brandished a black firearm and made threats during an argument in the Indian Pond Country Club parking lot on Thursday night.
- Police say the man threatened to run over a student, pointed the gun toward the sky, and appeared to chamber a round before leaving the scene in a car.
- An on-site officer called for patrol help, witnesses were interviewed and officers remained at the dance to protect attendees while a law-enforcement alert was issued.
