The FBI’s Los Angeles office said it is not aware of any known credible threats to schools in the region Friday after posts on social media indicate shootings and bombings will take place at campuses across the nation.
According to the Los Angeles Unified School District, “while there is no reason to believe our schools are in any danger, please know we take all such threats very seriously and take any action necessary to ensure the continued safety of our school communities.”
A Los Angeles Police Department detective told ABC7 Thursday the department was unaware of any specific local threats.
Superintendent Matt Hill wrote parents of students in the Burbank Unified School District the threats “appear to be the latest hoax and numerous police departments around the country have already investigated and publicly said there is no credible threat.”
