Teen in hot dog costume, another in gas mask prompt lockdown at Hempfield schools

State police suspect the last day of school in Hempfield Area School District may have been the impetus for two bizarre, unrelated incidents that prompted a lockdown of three schools Thursday. Police said a 14-year-old wearing a hot dog costume with his face painted as the Joker, a DC Comics character.

“We were already at the high school investigating another incident with a 16-year-old, wearing a gas mask on the school bus and as he entered the school, who made a threat on social media. That was before 8 a.m., and then the teenager, with the hot dog costume, occurred just seven minutes later,” state police spokesman Steve Limani said.
