Social media threat at Taft High School in Woodland Hills brings out crowds of parents

Authorities were investigating whether social media posts warning of a possible shooting today at Taft High School in Woodland Hills posed a credible threat.

Officers were sent to the campus in the 5400 block of Winnetka Avenue at about 9 a.m. on a threat investigation, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The undisclosed threat involved social media posts, the LAPD reported. The school was not placed on lockdown, police said. A long line of parents formed outside the campus, according to reports from the scene.

KTLA 5 displayed some social media posts warning of a possible shooting at the school today. Some students reportedly climbed over fences to get off the campus after being told by officers that it was safer for them to remain on the campus.

The investigation was being conducted by the LAPD and school police officers.
