Woodrow Wilson High School Receives Phony Threat In Long Beach

LONG BEACH, CA — A telephoned threat against Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach prompted an hour-long investigation by police Friday morning before being determined to be a hoax.

Officers were called about 10:25 a.m. to the school in the 4400 block of East 10th Street, according to Long Beach Police Department Public Information Officer Jennifer De Prez.

"In an abundance of caution, K-9 units conducted a search of the campus and no device or indication of a threat was located," De Prez said. "The threat was deemed not credible and there is no public safety threat at this time," she said.

The investigation comes one day after a teenager shot five classmates, two fatally, at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita.
