Brea Olinda High School in Orange County Closed Due to Social Media Threat, Police Investigating

Brea Olinda High School in Orange County didn’t welcome students on Wednesday, as the school doors were shut following an “unspecified threat” that emerged on social media the previous evening. The decision to close the school on Nov. 13 came after officials at Brea Olinda High School and the Brea Olinda Unified School District reviewed a circulating image that displayed two firearms and the ominous message “look out for tomorrow, @bohs,” as reported by

School officials were to quickly report the threat to the Brea Police Department, which has launched an investigation into the matter. A statement released emphasized, “Ensuring the safety and well-being of students, staff, and the community is the school’s highest priority,” and acknowledged that the threat’s nature couldn’t be immediately confirmed as non-credible or credible. This led to the precautionary measure of canceling all classes and activities for the day, detailed in a release cited by
