Threats made at Lake City High School not credible, district says

Coeur d'Alene Public Schools says a credible threat wasn't found, but multiple copycat incidents throughout the country were.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Coeur d'Alene Public Schools and local law enforcement said the threat made toward Lake City High School are not credible.

The district was made aware of a screenshot shared on Snapchat by a Lake City High School student late Tuesday evening. That screenshot was reportedly about a possible threat at the school the following day.

"After extensive investigation, law enforcement could not identify a local credible threat, but did locate several similar copycat incidents throughout the western United States," the district said in a Facebook post.

The district did not share details about the nature of the threat. 

To ensure student and staff safety,  an increased police presence was at Lake City all day on Wednesday and Thursday.

"Coeur d’Alene Schools and our law enforcement partners take all threats of violence seriously and investigate each one," the district said via Facebook. "We urge our students, parents, and community members to tell someone - a teacher, administrator, school resource officer, police department, etc. any time suspicious activity is seen or heard."
