Police searching for man they say left bullets at Ross High School

The Ross Twp. Police said Wednesday night the person of interest sought in connection to allegedly leaving bullets near a local school entrance was located and is in custody.

The man was seen on Ross High School surveillance video allegedly leaving them by the main entrance of the school’s event center. Classes were conducted as normal Wednesday, though with extra police on the shared high school and middle school campus.

Police said there were no student suspects. The matter remains under investigation.

Police have not said if there will be any charges or what the motivation was behind the man’s alleged actions.

Burton Roberts, Ross Police chief, announced after the man was in custody that: “We want to thank everyone who contacted us and gave information that led to us locating the person of interest.”

“The matter is still under investigation by the Ross Township Police Department. Thanks to the Ross Local School District for providing the video and photographs necessary to identify the individual.”

Chad Konkle, superintendent of Ross Schools, sent school families and staffers a message after the police announcement praising local law enforcement for its investigation.

“We are thankful for the Ross Township Police Department and for having closure in this matter,” said Konkle.
