The Denver Post
A threat of a massacre that would top the body count during the Virginia Tech University shootings that was posted on a blog caused such concern that officials took the unusual step of shutting down Westminster High School on April 21.
Buses filled with students were turned away, doors were locked and pupils arriving for their first period were told to return home while police searched the building.
No evidence of an impending attack was discovered in the building.
Although the case was investigated by local police and the FBI, the person who posted the threats on an Internet message board — discovered by someone in Cambridge, England, and e-mailed to the school — has not been identified.The incident shows how seriously school threats are taken these days — and that they can come from anywhere.
