PLEASANTON, CA — Pleasanton police said Monday that they do not believe a vague school shooting threat circulating online was credible. No arrests were made as of Monday evening, Pleasanton police spokesperson Teri Yan said in an email. School resource officers "will remain on campus to ensure the safety of the students and staff," she said. The threats were posted to Snapchat and do not specify a school or any other details, said Foothill High School Principal Sebastian Bull in an email to families. "There is no information yet tying the online post to Foothill or any Pleasanton school," said Pleasanton Unified School District spokesperson Patrick Gannon in an email to Patch. Anyone with information about the posts was asked to call or text the Pleasanton Unified School District anonymous tip line at 925-417-5199, Bull said. The tip line is monitored by the district. Anyone who wants to share information before 8 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m. should contact police by calling 911. The district will keep families updated as it learns more, Gannon said. In September, a Livermore High School student was arrested after threatening to cause harm on campus, according to school and police officials.
