Social Media Threat To Blow Up Waterloo Schools Being Investigated

Waterloo Authorities are investigating a threat made to several schools on social media.

Waterloo police started investigating the threat around 6:40 Tuesday night. According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, a screenshot of a Snapchat post started circulating on social media that reads, “I’m blowing up east west and Carver and central tomorrow.”

In a post on their Facebook page the Waterloo Police department said it is working in conjunction with the school district to identify whoever's responsible for the posts.

A Waterloo Schools spokesperson told the Courier the district will be in touch with family when they “get guidance from authorities.”

In a message to parents Tuesday night, the district said "We wanted you to know that we have turned over all of the images to police and they are currently investigating. As soon as we learn more info from authorities, we will let you know. Thank you for your patience.”
