More school threats force closure of Ferndale high & middle schools

Ferndale High School and Middle School are closed Monday after an alleged threat was posted online over the weekend. The two schools share the same building, and officials closed the schools out of an abundance of caution to allow police to investigate. Three anonymous posts were on Instagram late Sunday night that forced the schools to shut down. Someone threatened to bring three loaded weapons into the building, and even posted a hitlist of students they would target.
