Viral 'Central High' school shooting threat no cause for concern

St. Thomas police are reassuring threats of a school shooting at 'Central High' which have recently been making the rounds on social media were not directed at any local schools.

Police were notified about the threats on the social media app Snapchat by two separate callers on Monday.

An investigation found the threatening video was connected to an incident in Missouri where three youths have been arrested.

"The post is now spreading nationwide as almost every city has a school with “Central” in the name causing widespread concern," police said. "The origin of the original post has been confirmed and there is no threat to public safety locally."
