Meanwhile, a message was sent to parents of students at Liberty High School late Wednesday afternoon noting that a threat was found on a restroom wall after school had let out for the day. LHS administration determined that the threat was not credible.

An alert from Liberty High School was sent out to all parents Wednesday evening after the threat on the bathroom wall was found.

Wednesday's threats come two days after a threat was found at Frontier High School and a little more than a week after a threat was found at Golden Valley High School, prompting increased security at both schools.
