Schools, police warn of US school shooting threats on TikTok

Law enforcement agencies and school districts across the country said Thursday they were aware of anonymous posts on short-form video TikTok that alleged school shootings will take place in the US on Dec. 17 but concluded the threat wasn’t credible.

The alleged threats prompted school districts across the country to take precautions. Police departments around the country also said they’d keep a closer eye on schools than they usually do.
