Police in Pleasant Hill Monday received a hoax phone call threatening to shoot up an elementary school, the department said on social media.
Police responded to Pleasant Hill Elementary School on Oak Park Boulevard after receiving a 911 call from an unknown male who talked about “going on campus and shooting students” there, police said.
Pleasant Hill Elementary had just released students for the day, police said.
Out of precaution, the school was placed on lockdown and officers searched the school and determined that there was no active threat.
Police worked with school staff to help reunite children with their parents, Pleasant Hill Police said.
“There has been an uptick across the country with these types of hoax calls,” said police. “We are happy to report all students were safely reunited with their parents.”
There is an active investigation into the hoax. Anyone who may have information about this case is encouraged to call the Pleasant Hill Police at (925) 288-4630.

But schools are gun-free zones.

Our government is more concerned with taking away our gas stoves and forcing us in to electric vehicles than putting metal detectors and school resource officers on school premises. Glad this was only a hoax.

…Only the Democtats and other leftists.

The rest of us actually support law, order, and public safety.

If you supported public safety you’d be about background checks, longer time periods to purchase guns, more requirements and classes to get a gun, regulations on the type of guns that can be purchased, etc. That’s public safety. And I’m not anti gun.
