McCandless police were able to investigate the threat without imposing a lockdown and evacuation because of a specific later time that was referenced in the threat.

“They’ve explained the whole lockdown situation and what happens with an evacuation," said parent Amy Morningstar, who said the district did a great job of notifying her of the situation.

The student responsible for writing the threat was quickly identified and removed from class. A search of the student's locker determined there was no danger and the threat was a hoax.

This is the second threat within the district in two days. Police are continuing to investigate the Wednesday threat at North Allegheny Intermediate School, and are looking to determine if the threats are connected.

“And it happens year after year," Morningstar said. "I don’t know how they’re getting away with it or why they’re doing it, but it does seem to be on the increase.”
