Bullet Found at Nashua High School South Prompts Brief Shelter-in-Place

NASHUA, N.H. — A shelter-in-place order at Nashua High School South was lifted Tuesday morning after police determined that a bullet discovered in a school bathroom did not pose a threat to students or staff.

According to Nashua police, the incident began around 7:30 a.m. when a student reported to a teacher that a bullet had been found inside a toilet in one of the school’s restrooms. School officials promptly initiated a shelter-in-place protocol while authorities investigated the situation.

Police responded and quickly assessed that the bullet was not connected to any immediate danger. Officers also interviewed individuals believed to be involved as part of their investigation. The shelter-in-place order was lifted at approximately 9:30 a.m.

While authorities said the incident does not appear to be part of a broader threat, they emphasized that such situations are treated with the utmost seriousness.

“The frequency and the volume of these calls could become concerning, and unfortunately, we have to take every single one of them very seriously,” said Sgt. John Cinelli of the Nashua Police Department.

The incident follows a series of recent disruptions at the school. Last week, Nashua High School South was among dozens of public and private schools that received bomb threats, all of which were later determined to be not credible.

As a precaution, officials said there will be an increased police presence at the high school for the remainder of the day.

Hall of Fame Broadcaster Joe Castiglione Announces He Is Cancer-Free

Joe Castiglione, the longtime radio voice of the Boston Red Sox and a National Baseball Hall of Fame honoree, announced that he is cancer-free following surgery and treatment.

Castiglione, 79, said he underwent surgery in October to remove a sarcoma from his right leg, followed by additional treatment, including radiation. Despite retiring in 2024, he indicated he hopes to return to the broadcast booth for select games later this season.

Castiglione’s broadcasting career spans more than four decades. He began calling Major League Baseball games in 1979 and became the Red Sox’s lead radio announcer in 1983. Over the years, he became one of the most recognizable voices in the franchise’s history.

He was behind the microphone for four Red Sox World Series championship runs in 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018, including the team’s historic 2004 victory that ended an 86-year title drought. His call of the final out of Game 4 that year remains one of the most iconic moments in Boston sports broadcasting history.

“The Boston Red Sox are the world champions! For the first time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won baseball’s world championship. Can you believe it?” Castiglione exclaimed during the broadcast.

In recognition of his contributions to the sport, Castiglione received the 2024 Ford C. Frick Award, presented annually by the Hall of Fame for excellence in baseball broadcasting.

Castiglione is also the father of Duke Castiglione, the lead sports anchor for WCVB NewsCenter 5.
