Vague Threats Force Lockdown Of Local Schools

Westerville police say a vague threat posted Wednesday night on the Whisper app put the city's schools on alert yesterday and forced the lockdown of all Columbus high schools.  Meanwhile, a hoax about a shooting at Licking Heights High School was posted on the Kick app, causing parents to keep dozens of kids home.  No arrests have been made in either case.
