Schenectady Police Say Alleged Threat Against School Isn't Credible

Schenectady police say an alleged threat made against students and staff at Oneida Middle School has been deemed not credible.

Over the weekend, a message warning about shootings at the school was widely shared on social media but officials say an investigation revealed the message was intended to be a prank. Since there are no safety concerns the school will be open Monday as scheduled. A district spokesperson is asking parents to keep a close eye on their child's social media activity and remind them that pranks can have serious consequences.
