Grant High School Locked Down, Teen Questioned For Allegedly Making School Threat

LOS ANGELES, CA — A teenager was taken into custody for questioning Monday in connection with a threat against Grant High School, police said.

Officers went to the campus in the 13000 block of Oxnard Street about 7:20 a.m. after the threat, apparently communicated via the Internet, was received, said Los Angeles police Officer Norma Eisenman.

Information was not immediately available on the gender of the 16-year- old or whether the teen is a student.

The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution, and authorities were working to determine if the threat -- the nature of which was not disclosed -- was credible, Eisenman said.
