The Oswego Police Department will provide any further support to and assist the school district in the investigation if warranted, the post said.

Oswego police spokesperson Cathy Nevara said police weren’t able to establish what exactly the threat was and determined it to be unfounded.

According to Nevara, police became aware of the situation after school officials were hearing rumors and they decided to have the police come in and help.
