Anyone heard anything?
DD called said she is too scared to go to classes tomorrow, but I hadn't heard anything.
Suppose to be a real threat according to her.
But they aren't closing any schools. 4951

FoFa. What school, UT?
 
@MarT:
 
DD goes to UT, but she said the threat said "A school", so one reason I'm trying to find out more. DD said both UT and Austin police are taking the threat seriously. 4951

I googled the local news channels and didn't see a single mention on their websites. I didn't dig too deep but if you are concerned do some digging. 4951

I looked at Austin reddit and they have a thread about it. They said it originated by something posted on 4chan but the responses didn't sound like anyone was taking it very seriously. They have a screen grab of the orignal threat on the site. 4951

@soxs mom: My DD was getting the info from the UT site or some student communications they have, not social media.

@FoFa: I was just looking for another source of information for you.  Not suggesting it was anything official.

Apparently the Oregon shooter posted something like "don't go to school in the northwest tomorrow" on 4chan the day before the shooting. Someone cut and pasted it into a new thread and replaced "northwest" with "Austin." It was clearly a dumb joke, but in these times I guess you have to take everything seriously.   4951
