Bomb threats called in to multiple Contra Costa schools found to be without merit

Multiple Contra Costa County school districts were on high alert Wednesday in response to bomb threats that called for the release of Russian prisoners.

In a letter home to families, Erik Faulkner, assistant superintendent with the Liberty Union High School District—which includes high schools in Brentwood and Oakley—reported the threat had been distributed to schools across the state. Locally, at least LUHSD, Brentwood Union School District, Antioch Unified School District, Pittsburg Unified School District and Mt. Diablo Unified School District alerted families after receiving threatening emails early Wednesday morning.

The districts immediately notified their local police departments and worked together to verify that the threat was not credible. 'We appreciate how quickly Brentwood Police responded to this incident,' said BUSD superintendent Dana Eaton. 'We are all committed to the safety of our schools and community. It is unfortunate that these types of mass online threats continue to steal so many resources from schools and police departments.
