SKOKIE, Ill. - Skokie police have found no credible threat after investigating an online conversation between two Niles North High School students that included the topic of a bomb.
The conversation mentioned the school and a synagogue in Skokie, police said.
Skokie police spoke with the students involved and have determined there is no credible threat.
"Thank you to our community partners who shared this information to assist with an expeditious investigation into this incident in light of recent events, including the current conflict in Israel," Skokie police said in a press release.
Additionally, Skokie police say they're aware of social media posts declaring Friday, Oct. 13, as "a day of mobilization" – and believe there are no known or credible threats to Skokie or the Chicago area.
Skokie police said they, along with local and national law enforcement partners, continue to watch social media activity.
Niles North High School released a statement Friday afternoon, indicating the students involved may face disciplinary actions following the incident and confirming that "all necessary" safety measures have been taken.
"Our school and district administration and the Skokie Police Department are treating this investigation seriously. We are presently addressing the students’ actions through our Board’s disciplinary procedures," the statement said.
"Earlier today, school administration was alerted to a social media thread that contained references to bomb threats made by two students. In response, we immediately partnered with the Skokie Police Department to determine the origin, author, and credibility of the threats. As a result of the investigation, it was determined that these threats were noncredible in nature," the statement read.
"Due to the threatening nature of those actions and disruption to the educational process, discipline may be up to and including expulsion, whether a credible threat or not," the statement read.
Skokie police ask the community to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity by calling 9-1-1.
