LA school shutdown: Threat emailed to school board member
None
A law enforcement official said Tuesday that the threat that closed all schools in the vast Los Angeles Unified School District was emailed to a school board member and appeared to come from overseas.
The official said the threat was sent late Monday. Superintendent Ramon Cortines saidthe threat was made against students at many of the district's schools. Officials wouldn't elaborate. Cortines says the San Bernardino shooting that left 14 people dead on Dec. 2 influenced the decision to shut down the district's more than 900 schools and 187 public charter schools.
