Increased Security After Social Media Threat To School

ALLEGHENY COUNTY, Pa. — (WPXI) – There was an increased police and security presence at Woodland Hills’ Edgewood Elementary School on Monday. In a letter sent to families on Sunday afternoon, Woodland Hills School District Superintendent Dr. Daniel Castega said this was being done out of an abundance of caution due to a social media post threatening a shooting at a school named Edgewood High School. Castenga says the Edgewood Police Department contacted him on Sunday morning because Edgewood Elementary School was formerly Edgewood High School. The post, which has since been taken down, was made just before midnight Saturday and was traced to Fayette County by Pennsylvania State Police. Police do not think there is a threat to Edgewood Elementary School or the Woodland Hills School District.
