LAKEPORT, Calif. — A Christian school in Lakeport closed on Monday after receiving a bomb threat.
Lakeport Police Lt. Dale Stoebe said the threat was sent via email to Konocti Christian Academy, which is located on the Lake County Fairgrounds at 401 Martin St.
“The KCA received an email that had approximately 30 additional addressees, that included Anti-American rhetoric and the threat of an explosive device on campus with a set detonation time,” Stoebe said.
Stoebe said that, at that time, local and regional threat assessment information centers had no similar information from other locations.
“When presented with all of the known information, school administration elected to exercise an abundance of caution and send students home,” Stoebe said.
He said that a search was conducted of the campus with no suspicious objects located.
The school did not immediately respond to a message sent via email by Lake County News Monday afternoon seeking comment.
