CHICAGO (CBS) — Elgin police were investigating a threat of gun violence against Larkin High School, which was posted on Facebook and Snapchat overnight.
Police said officers would be at the school Tuesday morning as a safety precaution.
A Larkin parent shared a picture of the threatening message posted on Facebook. It shows some text scratched out with a digital pen above the message “On march six I will be Shooting up Larkin high school.”
School administrators at Elgin District U-46 told the Daily Herald they were notified of the post Monday night, and have been working with police to find the source.
Police said they do not believe the threat is credible. Classes were set to go on as normal on Tuesday. Elgin police said officers would be at the school as a precaution.
The threat comes nearly three weeks after the deadly shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida.
