Threat Prompts Lockdown Coyote Creek Elementary School

SAN RAMON, CA — A lockdown Tuesday at Coyote Creek Elementary School in San Ramon was prompted by a threatening message found in a boys bathroom. But after a police investigation, it was determined the threat was not credible.

The lockdown was announced on social media shortly after noon after a message in the main boys bathroom was found that read, “Evry body dies at 12:30."

San Ramon police were called and the campus was placed on lockdown in "an extreme abundance of caution," although officials said the school was never in imminent danger.

The lockdown was lifted at 1:20 p.m.

"We are pleased to report that no incident took place on the Coyote Creek campus today," the SRVUSD told district families after the lockdown was lifted. "The police determined that there was nothing found to indicate that the threat was credible."

Police will remain on campus for the rest of Tuesday to ensure the safety of students and staff members, and students are being dismissed at the regular time, according to the district.

The investigation is ongoing, the district said. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to report it either via an anonymous tip line found on every SRVUSD school website homepage, or by calling the San Ramon Police Department at 925-973-2779.
