Threat Triggers Bomb Squad Search of Grant High School Again
For the second time in two days, the LAPD bomb squad searched Grant High School in response to an online threat: Breaking.
LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Police Department Bomb Squad searched the Grant High School early Tuesday morning following a bomb threat made via social media. It's the second day in a row that the school was threatened.
The campus in the 13000 block of Oxnard Street was placed on lockdown Monday for several hours after a threat was made online, the Los Angeles Police Department reported. A teenager was detained and questioned in the Monday incident, and police deemed it a hoax, according to the LAPD.
On Tuesday, authorities searched the campus, declaring it safe before students arrived for the school day, the LAPD reported. The threat apparently was made via Instagram.
