Hopefully everyone in the school is safe!

Diman Regional Technical Vocational High School is currently in a Shelter in Place following a 9-1-1 call from a male claiming to be inside a school bathroom with a firearm and an explosive vest.

Our School Resource Officers were already on scene and immediately began checking the building. Additional Patrol Officers, Detectives, and K9 Caide responded to assist in ensuring the school is safe.

While the caller provided detailed information about themselves, they were unable to provide any details about the school that would indicate actual knowledge of the building. This call is consistent with prior “swatting” incidents we have investigated. Despite indications that this may be a hoax, we treat every threat as real and respond with all available resources.

At this time, there does not appear to be any direct threat.

We thank the students, staff, and community for their patience and cooperation as we continue to clear the school. We ask parents to please refrain from responding to the school. Transportation has already been staged, and once the Shelter in Place is lifted, students will be dismissed safely.

Senseless and cowardly acts like this disrupt the learning environment and place everyone at risk. Officers respond prepared for the worst, putting their safety on the line, while students and staff experience unnecessary fear and disruption.

Our Detectives are actively working to identify the individual responsible.

Thank you for your cooperation.

INSIDE GILLETT’S MMA, WHERE DISCIPLINE MEETS REAL-WORLD DEFENSE

You feel it the second you walk in.

Not chaos. Not noise for the sake of noise.

Structure. Focus. Respect.

We stopped into Gillett’s MMA during a kids class, and what stood out immediately was how locked in these kids were.

No messing around. No distractions. Just sharp instruction, movement, and learning.

Tim isn’t just running a class. He’s building discipline in real time.

You’ve got kids drilling positions, working together, learning how to move, how to protect themselves, how to stay calm under pressure. It’s not just about throwing punches. It’s about control, awareness, and confidence.
And while that’s happening on one side of the gym…

You hear the rhythm of gloves hitting heavy bags.
You see movement in the boxing ring.

You feel the energy of people pushing themselves to get better.

It’s a full environment. Everyone working. Everyone learning.
Then something on the wall catches your attention.

A framed feature from The Standard-Times.

“Local sensei invents self defense garment.”

Now you understand something deeper.

This isn’t just a coach running classes.

This is someone who’s spent years thinking about real-world protection.

Tim Gillett isn’t just teaching techniques.

He’s created systems around self-defense, including the Scorpion Self Defense Garment, designed to give people practical tools in real situations.

That same mindset shows up on the mat.

Everything being taught has purpose.

MORE THAN A GYM

What stood out most was how the kids were being coached.

Clear instructions.
Immediate corrections.
Respect built into every interaction.

You can see confidence being developed right in front of you.

This isn’t about turning kids into fighters.

It’s about helping them carry themselves differently when they walk out those doors.

SCORPION TRAINING | FRIDAYS AT 7PM

If you want to see another layer of what’s happening here, Friday nights bring something different.

Tim teaches the Scorpion system at 7pm, focusing on practical self-defense built for real-world situations. It’s controlled, it’s technical, and it’s rooted in experience.

WHY IT MATTERS FOR FALL RIVER

Places like this matter.
They give kids structure.
They give adults an outlet.
They build confidence across the board.

And most importantly, they create an environment where people are learning how to handle themselves, physically and mentally.

If you’re in the Fall River area and haven’t stepped inside yet, it’s worth seeing for yourself.

Because once you do…
You’ll understand this isn’t just training.

It’s preparation for life.
