Columbia Police were made aware of a possible threat to Columbia Public Schools around 9 P.M. last night. That is according to information released by the Columbia Police Department today.

That threat was determined not to be credible. It is believed to have originated from a social media account that posted similar threats across the United States. An arrest was made in Ohio in that case.

Another threat was believed to have been made over social media this morning. Detectives have determined this was not a threat, but a sharing of the prior social media post that was investigated yesterday.

Officers and detectives were sent to multiple schools as a precaution.
