The district said the investigation into the second message led them to California.
"The FBI and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office interviewed an individual and concluded that any potential threat was mitigated,' said the district in a statement. "he school district will always actively pursue all available measures from the student code of conduct and fully cooperate with law enforcement - including pursuing possible criminal charges - to deter this kind of disruptive behavior. This applies regardless if the individuals involved are students here."
The Godley Police Department stepped up patrols around both the high school and middle school as a precaution over the past couple of days.
