Original post:

At 9:20 a.m. Thursday morning, parents of students in the Northern Humboldt Union High School District received an email containing the following message:

MHS has received an anonymous threat and we are working with law enforcement to determine next steps. 

Some school personnel received the following text messages:

MHS has received an anonymous threat and we are working with law enforcement to determine next steps.

MHS students will remain in a Shelter In Place until further direction. Parents cannot pick up students until lifted.

This is the sixth time in the last two weeks that MHS has asked its students to shelter in place as the result of anonymous threats made toward the school. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office detailed how it was been responding to these episodes in a release issued yesterday.
