DEVELOPING: All of Los Angeles' public schools were closed Tuesday due to a "credible terror threat," officials said.

A member of the LA Unified School District Board of Education reported receiving a bomb threat, police said. It was unclear when the threat was made and which school board member received it, but the situation prompted the district to close all schools effective immediately, and order students and staff to stay away from all campuses.

Police and the FBI were investigating the threat, which was described as "electronic."

Schools Superintendent Ramon Cortines said every school in the 640,000-student district would be searched. The district, the nation's second-largest, includes more than 900 schools and 187 public charter schools. It covers Los Angeles as well as all or parts of 31 smaller municipalities and employs nearly 60,000 people.

"I think it is important that I take this precaution based upon what has happened recently and what has happened in the past," Cortines said.

"We received an electronic threat that mentioned the safety of our schools," said LAUSD Police Chief Steven Zipperman.

Cortines stressed at a morning news conference that the threat was broad, and had to be taken seriously....etc.

I suppose the problem is that the whole world is on edge for the next jihadist atrocity, and they cannot afford to take a chance on it being idiots playing a 'joke'?

Also, too many of them have their heads in the sand about how many of the ****** might already be in the country.  

It is going against the mantra that these are not nice, kind typical wannabe immigrants etc.

Sky:

All of Los Angeles' public schools have been ordered to close over a "credible threat", city officials have said.

The threat involving backpacks and "other packages" was made against "not one, but many schools" in the district, LA Schools Superintendent Ramon Cortines said.

Meanwhile, officials in New York City said they received the same email threat, but concluded it was a hoax.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said he was "absolutely convinced" there was no danger to schoolchildren in New York, and the city's police commissioner said he thought LA officials overreacted.

"We are very comfortable that this is not a credible threat ... concerned with people overreacting to it," NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said.

He added that his department was working with the LAPD and FBI on the threat.


That's all very nice and soothing - but what happens if there are nine hoaxes, people get complacent - and the tenth is an attack?

The massacre in California has amply demonstrated that the supposed 'authorities' have NO idea who is in the US, the much-vaunted security checks failed to catch Mrs Snackbar, and hoping for the best isn't good enough.

Amen to that, Bonny.
