NASHUA, N.H. — Police in New Hampshire are investigating what they call "detailed" threats that closed schools in the state's second largest district.
The threats to the Nashua school district were made by email Sunday and were specific enough for administrators to shut all the public schools Monday. Some private schools in the southern New Hampshire city also closed, though police say only the two public high schools were mentioned.
The closing comes less than a week after threats of violence shuttered schools in Los Angeles. A rash of threats followed in several cities including New York City, Miami and suburban Indianapolis.
Nashua police say they are working with state and federal agencies to determine if the threat was credible.
School Superintendent Mark Conrad said in a statement that schools would reopen Tuesday.
