FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 9/11/2025

The Town of Holden Police Department was made aware of a situation that unfolded VIA social media platforms on Wednesday evening, 9/10/2025. It was reported to us that a staff member at Wachusett Regional High School (WRHS) made social media comments in the wake of the tragic assassination of political commentator, Charlie Kirk. These comments sparked heated debate, millions of views and brought into question the safety of school operations for both students and staff at WRHS. Holden police officers worked through the night in partnership with other agencies to ultimately determine that there were no credible threats of violence at WRHS. With this information, the police officers assigned to the 11:00pm to 7:00am shift as well as day-shift officers were assigned to the school campus to ensure a safe and orderly drop off. We will continue to monitor the situation, and we will remain in contact with WRHS administration to provide them any public safety resources necessary. The police department has no comment regarding the staff member’s status or the investigation by WRHS.
