The FBI has determined threats made to several Northern Nevada high schools Wednesday morning were a hoax.
So far, Storey County, Douglas County, Churchill County, and Carson City have reported investigating these threats.
Classes at Virginia City High School were canceled for the day out of an abundance of caution, and due to police activity in the area. Classes are set to resume as normal tomorrow.
Carson City High School temporarily put classes on hold this morning, before resuming when deemed safe.
Several of the school districts impacted are reporting increased security measures Wednesday, out of an abundance of caution.
The investigation into the origin of the threats is ongoing.
The Nevada Threat Analysis Center says it has been made aware of bomb threat emails targeting school districts in Nevada.
“The Nevada Threat Analysis Center is conducting analysis related to the threats and sharing information with appropriate law enforcement partners conducting the investigation into these incidents,” said the NTAC in a statement. “At this time, the Nevada Threat Analysis Center is not aware of any physical bomb or incendiary device at any school district, and the threats are believed to be a hoax.”
