Bomb Threat To Local School Not Credible

A bomb threat made against the Lake Placid Middle-High School Tuesday morning was deemed not credible, according to the Lake Placid Police Department, who investigated the threat with assistance from New York State Police. Governor Hochul issuing a statement on recent swatting incidents reading, in part, More than 50 school districts across New York have received disturbing ‘swatting’ threats today including in Central New York, Long Island, the Southern Tier and the North Country. I want to reassure parents that their children are safe at school – swatting threats are false and intended to cause panic and scare students, teachers and families.”
