LAND O' LAKES, Fla. — If your student goes to Land O' Lakes High School and notices an increased amount of Pasco County Sheriff's Office deputies, there's a reason for that.
A threat posted on social media potentially targeting Land O' Lakes High School is being investigated, the sheriff's office said in a tweet Tuesday morning.
An alert from the sheriff's office said the investigation is active and ongoing. More details will be provided as they become available.
The sheriff's office did not say there was any immediate danger to the school or students that would prompt further action.
"We received an online threat and are working with law enforcement during the active investigation. We have increased law enforcement presence at the school today to ensure that kids are safe. Operations at the school are continuing today, and messaging has been sent to parents," Pasco County Schools spokesperson Corey Dierdorff said in a statement.
