Valley College School District Police got word of the posting and reported it around 11 a.m. Wednesday to Grand Terrace Police.
According to police investigators, the post threatened a violent attack on students and staff that “would be similar in nature to the school shooting which occurred at Virginia Tech.” The Virginia university was attacked by a gunman in April 2007. Thirty-two people were killed by the shooter.
