Student Threat To Malibu High School Deemed Not Credible

MALIBU, CA — A threat was made on social media against Malibu High School Monday night, however it was not a credible threat, according to the Santa Monica-Malibu School District. The incident is still under investigation Tuesday morning.

In a letter to parents and staff, Malibu High School Principal Dr. Cheli Nye said the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Lost Hills Station "spoke to and assessed the student and determined that this is a non-credible threat."

"We are cooperating with LASD as they continue this investigation today with the student and family," Nye said.

The threat was made by a sophomore student who while talking to another student "jokingly" said "that he was going to bring a shotgun to school," Detective Sgt. Matthew Dunn told Malibu Surfside News.

Students and staff are safe on campus, Nye's letter continued.

"We look forward to a productive day of finals and enjoyable graduation ceremony and celebration this afternoon," Nye said.
