Tucson Palo Verde High School Threat Not Credible

The threat came in overnight via social media.

There were extra police at Palo Verde High School Thursday morning. They were in response to a vague threat made overnight to the school. While police ultimately determined it was not credible, extra officers were sent there out of caution and to send a message.

The threat told people if they hear a certain song over the loudspeaker, to drop to the floor because the shooting would start.
