Schools in Los Angeles are due to reopen today after a bomb threat against the city's school system was deemed a hoax. More than 1,000 schools were closed Tuesday. An estimated 640,000 students across Los Angeles were affected by the shutdown.
"We can now announce the F.B.I. has determined this is not a credible threat, something we couldn't have announced earlier in the day. And I want to be very careful because that does not mean that it's conclusively one thing or another, yet some have used words that I think are probably inappropriate, like hoax and other things,” said Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles.
"Whether it's criminal mischief, whether it's somebody testing vulnerabilities of multiple cities, we still do not know enough to say definitively. What we do know is that it will be safe for our children to return to school tomorrow."
