Sequoia Schools Searched After Caller Says "You're Next"

Sequoia Middle and Elementary schools weren't evacuated, but police searched the grounds, finding nothing suspicious

OUTSIDE SAN FRANCISCO -- Police searched two schools this morning after a man called one of the campuses and said, "You're next."

Sgt. Tim Frank said the call came to Sequoia Middle School about 10 a.m. and was taken by a student, who then informed school administrators.

Pleasant Hill Police searched the grounds of the Boyd Road campus and nearby Sequoia Elementary School for about 40 minutes and found nothing suspicious.

The schools were not evacuated. Frank said classroom doors were locked, but teachers continued their normal classroom activities.

Frank said the search was a standard precautionary measure, especially in light of the mass shooting last Friday at a Connecticut elementary school.

Investigators are now trying to determine who placed this morning's phone call.

The Staples discounts are not really all that helpful. You can usually find lower prices atRead More Wallmart or on Amazon and you must spend a large amount (a couple hundred dollars) all in one month to get any cash back reward at all. If you spend money on school supplies spread out, like $150/mo, you do not accumulate enough in any one month to get any reward at all. The deal sounds great, but I've found it completely useless and frustrating. I think it's a ploy for positive press only, and of little help to a teacher.
