Every school in Los Angeles ordered to close,

Just watching on Sky news that every school in Los Angeles has been ordered to close due to "unspecified threat"...

No real info other than the above currently availble..

A little more info, it's a "electronic threat"

Threat was email to school board member, possibly from over seas.

Quote:

Los Angeles schools have been closed as an unspecified threat is investigated, police have said.
Officials would not specify the nature of the threat, which led to students being sent home and school buses returned to depots.
A school district spokesman said it involved rucksacks, and they were exercising "an abundance of caution".
The district is the second largest in the US, with 640,000 students attending more than 1,000 schools.
Police are searching all the schools, which will remain closed until the threat is over, officers told reporters at a press conference.

Re: Every school in Los Angeles ordered to close,

I lost count of the number of times I had to stand out on a school playing field with the entire school because someone thought it fun to claim there was a bomb in the school between the 60s and the the 90s.

I guess it's not a game that the US has ever had to consider until now.
