School closed again because of threat

MOUNT LEBANON — A Catholic school was closed for a second straight day while police and the FBI tried to find whoever sent an e-mail threatening to shoot students and staff and which referenced similar incidents at Columbine High School in Colorado and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Lauren Martin, the principal of Seton-LaSalle High School in Mount Lebanon is encouraging parents to speak with students in hopes of determining who emailed the threat which was received about 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Classes were canceled that day and again Thursday, which happens to be the birthday of Eric Harris — one of two boys who laid siege to Columbine on April 20, 1999, before both teens killed themselves.

Mount Lebanon police say the FBI is helping police determine who sent the e-mail.
