I received an anonymous email today. The parent didn't want to provoke them, in case there was intent to harm, and later contacted the police and the school district. Here is the email:
I am a mt Lebanon parent with a daughter in Kindergarten. Today while
playing with my daughter on the Lincoln elementary school playground three
kids in dark clothes, wearing hoodies walked in a slow intentional way
through the playground. One was wearing a clown mask that looked like it
was purchased at a Halloween store. The other two were wearing
Gas masks. I approached the individual wearing the clown mask, asked her if
she was aware of the threat, and asked her to leave the park, and not wear
the mask near a school or park in the future. She was resistant and
defensive and may not have left if I did not reference the raised police
awareness. They appeared to be young teenagers. The clown was a female. The
other two appeared to be male.
Please contact Mt. Lebanon Police by dialing 911 or emailing the police chief at alauth@mtlebanon.org if anyone has more information concerning this situation.
While there is no anti-mask law in Pennsylvania,
