Bonita High Threatened With 'Columbine-Type Shooting,' Police Chief Calls It a 'Hoax'

La Verne, CA
Bonita High School's June 7 graduation ceremony was threatened with a 'Columbine-type shooting,' Chief Scott Pickwith of the La Verne Police Department revealed at a city council meeting tonight.

However, even though Pickwith said the threat was certainly a hoax, he noted that the school and the police took the threat 'seriously.' La Verne police officers were present at both the graduation rehearsal and the ceremony itself.

Pickwith said most of the city's small police force was mobilized to counter the threat.
