?Dear Barnstable Community,
This message is going out to BHS families and staff and is now also being shared across the District.
We are writing to provide some information regarding a concerning situation last night. We want to reassure you that as concerning as this is, the safety of students, staff, and attendees was maintained at all times.
One of our students was arrested on school grounds, outside of the football game, for possession of an unloaded revolver and knife. The items were found when the individual was searched for contraband. The firearm was not loaded and was not brandished. These items were reported to have been brought to intimidate someone thought to be coming to the area but not to be used.
The Barnstable Police Department was notified immediately. The school administration is responding consistent with our school code of conduct, which details the consequences for such serious infractions.
Clearly this incident is not aligned with who we are as a school community and we are thankful that our positive school culture continues to grow stronger and stronger. We will continue to be vigilant to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

The incident is currently under investigation by [] Patrol Officer Ridenour and the Harwich Police Detective Division. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police department.?
NOTES: HN also responded to the area of the multiple reports of gunshots near the intersection of Old County Road and Route 28 Wednesday evening. While enroute, officers were updated regarding the situation from additional callers, according to radio transmissions. One person reported seeing a man running through a backyard in the area. Another described a group of men being in some type of disturbance near to one of the cottages at 10 Old County Road. HPD patrol officers arrived quickly and began investigating. They didn't find anyone injured? but were interested in at least one vehicle seen leaving the area.
In a separate, recent incident, across the street from the cottages at 10 Old County Road, there's the Stone Horse Apartments where 30-year-old Akeem Drysdale was stabbed to death in November of 2022. On May 8, 2023, District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced that Aneka Brown, 36, of Harwich, was indicted by a Barnstable County Grand Jury on May 5, 2023 on the charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon. CLICK HERE FOR HN'S VIDEO & COVERAGE OF THE 2022 MURDER OF AKEEM DRYSDALE.
HN spoke with several individuals at the Stone Horse Apartments last evening. A couple of the individuals reported (in emerging English) hearing what sounded like one gunshot, followed by four or five additional gunshots. They were certain the loud bangs sounded like gunshots and not fireworks. (They did not know the word for ?fireworks? at first?)
Harwich officers saturated and searched the area. No shell casings were located during the search of the grounds and parking area at the 10 Old County Road cottages, according to sources.
