SLO Police investigating “school shooter” threat to San Luis High School
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - San Luis High School Administrators notified the San Luis Obispo Police Department about a message written inside one of their restrooms.
The message was located on Thursday, November 21 and was originally thought to be vandalism only.
Once officials analyzed the writing, it was determined that the small writing said “school shooter”. The San Luis Obispo High School staff and parents of the students have been notified of this incident by the school’s administration.
The school district sent out the following message to the parents of San Luis Obispo High School:
“SLOHS Families and Staff, This notice is to provide you with an update on the vandalism incident which occurred in the restrooms yesterday, November 21, 2019.
