The threat has been deemed non-credible, and is being investigated by Shafter P.D., the Kern High School District Police Department, and the Administration at Shafter High School.

Krch told 23ABC that student safety is their top priority, and there will be increased security on the campus of Shafter High School on Friday as a precaution.
