Pittsburgh Public Schools on modified lockdown after reported social media threat
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Pittsburgh Public Schools are on a modified lockdown Monday, due to an alleged social media threat to all Pittsburgh-area schools
Under the modified lockdown, nobody is permitted to enter or exit facilities without an appointment that was scheduled previously.
This stems from a student at West Mifflin school district reporting the threat to Safe 2 Say. Although West Mifflin was not targeted in the reported threat, West Mifflin school district is also not allowing visitors to their schools unless they had a pre-scheduled appointment.
At this point, West Mifflin school district has no evidence to say the threat originated there.
Woodland Hills school district is also taking extra precautions after the vague social media threat. Superintendent Dr. Daniel Castagna announced the school district will use extra precaution on Monday when screening all guests.
