Heavy police security continued at Ridgecrest Elementary Friday, as Shoreline Police continued their investigation into the threatening emails sent to the principal and some staff.

"This is our top priority," said Shoreline Police Chief Shawn Ledford.

School spokespeople and police continued to stress that the school is safe and the children are safe at school. 

The emails started arriving on Sunday and continued through the week. The school has not disclosed the contents of the emails or nature of the threats, but took them very seriously.

The school cancelled a Science Night event scheduled for Tuesday and kept the children in at recess, as precautions.

  1. How very sad. I hope the science show can be rescheduled. I'm sure many kids and families worked hard on projects they'd love to display.
