CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police are investigating a threat made at Clark Montessori High School in Hyde Park Wednesday.
At around 7 a.m. investigators received a call from a male claiming that he planted a bomb outside the school and that he would be inside a bathroom, ready to shoot if police went inside, CPD Assistant Chief Mike John said.
The caller named a specific target, who doesn't actually attend the high school, according to John.
There was a heavy police response to the school following the threat. A hazardous devices unit was also called to the scene.
CPD Lt. Cunningham said the school was not evacuated. According to investigators, no bombs have been found on campus.
Cincinnati Public Schools said the school was on lockout.
"While the threat does not appear to be credible, the Cincinnati Police Department recommended Clark to go on a lockout as a precaution," a spokesperson for the district said. "During a lockout, instruction continues, while all doors remain locked."
Investigators said that no further threat calls have been received.
CPD said they think the threat was over an online beef of some kind.
Police have not said if they have identified the male who made the threat.
