Police investigate alleged shooting threat at York High School

The Elmhurst Police Department is investigating an alleged school shooting threat at York High School.

According to the police, a female student at York alleged that another student came up to her at school in August 2017, claiming that a school shooting would take place on March 23, 2018. She described the student as white and male, but could not identify who it was.

The police department has no additional information and cannot confirm the accuracy of the threat.

Because of the nature of the allegations as well as events on the national stage, the Elmhurst Police Department will station additional uniformed and plain clothes officers in the area of the high school for the next few days.
