No current credible threat to schools after email
A Nashua Police Department lieutenant says a school administrator received the threat via email on Sunday.

After an investigation of all the schools, “no threats or devices of any type were found”, and “there is no current credible threat to Nashua public schools”, Nashua Police Chief Andrew Lavoy said at a press conference around 4 p.m. Monday. Cambridge schools have also remained open through multiple threats of gun violence against its middle schools. There are specific concerns about threats to schools following several incidents and last week the Los Angeles Unified School District – the second largest in the country – canceled classes after receiving a threat that was later deemed to be a hoax.
Nashua School District Superintendent Mark Conrad said the district was working with police to determine the credibility of the threat. “The Nashua Police Department and our law enforcement partners have been investigating this threat around the clock”. A “penalty” so “severe that none of our people would even think about it, quite frankly”, he said during a forum on security at the University of New Hampshire. “We will make that determination this afternoon and we will put a call out to our parents and staff to let them know the decision”. “In the threat, the individual listed how harm would come to students”. “The threat is specific [Monday]”.
Dave Melanson, a resident of Hudson, N.H., whose two daughters attend elementary school in Nashua, said he appreciates the cautious approach of the school district.

“Obviously, it hits very close to home for me because my two kids – I live in Nashua – they’re home from school today”, Ayotte told WMUR in an interview Monday. The superintendent confirmed he is already planning for extra police security when schools reopen tomorrow.
