Houston, Texas (KTRK) – Aldine ISD said the officers will remain at Eisenhower High School for the rest of the week after several threats on social media against the campus on Wednesday.
The county police department said that while the threats appeared unsubstantiated, authorities were still investigating.
As a precaution, additional Aldine ISD police officers are on campus and will remain there this week.
“We take all threats very seriously because the safety and security of our students and staff is our top priority at Aldine ISD. We encourage all students, staff, and parents to report any suspicious activity they see or hear. As a reminder, the business threat — even on the A joke – a crime and there are serious consequences.”
District officials added that those responsible for the threats would face disciplinary action.
The threats come at a time when schools are already on high alert after an active shooting hoax that hit parents and students at Houston Heights High School on Tuesday afternoon.
Law enforcement officers surrounded the campus at 413 E. 13th Street, looking for a potential suspect as they cleared the campus, but in the end, no suspects were found, no shots were fired, and no one was hurt.
The hoax was one of several sites targeting college campuses across Texas and California on Tuesday afternoon. No arrests have been announced as investigations continue, but sources confirmed to ABC13 Investigates that at least four of the false alarm calls came from the same phone number.
The video above is from ABC13’s breaking news coverage on Tuesday of what turned out to be a false report of an active shooting.
