Police Investigating Shooting Threat Found In Cal High Bathroom

SAN RAMON, CA — Police are investigating a threat found on the California High School campus in San Ramon Wednesday morning. In the wake of the threat, which implied that an "act of violence" would be committed on May 9, police have stepped up patrols on and around the campus.

Police said they are investigating the source of the threat, which was found written on the wall of a boys’ bathroom. San Ramon Valley Unified School District spokesperson Elizabeth Grasswich said officers will remain on campus in the coming days.

Principal Christopher George on Wednesday afternoon sent a letter to alert parents about the discovery:

Dear Cal Parents/Guardian,

I want you to be aware that today, at about 11:20 a.m., graffiti was found in the World Language boys’ bathroom that stated, “Cal will be shot up 5/9. Final warning.” San Ramon Police were immediately contacted and are investigating, along with school administration.

We share these investigations with you to keep you informed. Know that we are taking this very seriously. There is nothing more important to us than the safety of your students and the Cal High staff and campus. We are grateful that once again a student did the right thing and upon finding the graffiti, immediately contacted a staff member.

If you or your students have any information that may help us in our investigation, please contact me. Communicating with you, to the best of our ability, continues to be a top priority at California High School.

Thank you,

Christopher George

Principal
