Pittsburgh-area school reopening after email shooting threat
MT. LEBANON (AP) – A Pittsburgh-area Catholic school is reopening after an emailed shooting threat closed it for three days last week.
Police say they want Seton-LaSalle High School students and parents to remain vigilant as classes resume Monday.
Mt. Lebanon’s deputy police chief says they’re reminded to speak up if they see, hear or read something suspicious.
Students worked from home using laptop computers while the school was closed.
Police worked with the FBI to determine who sent the email early Wednesday. They say the sender took steps to hide his or her identity.
The email contained threats to shoot students and staff and referenced similar incidents in Littleton, Colo., and Newtown, Conn.
Law enforcement officials say it’s difficult to assess the threat’s credibility until they can figure out who sent it.
