An alert was issued by the Baltimore County Police Department on Monday, Nov. 21, advising that there is a continued police presence at Towson High School as the investigation continues into a threat made targeting the building on Thursday, Nov. 17.

Investigators say that the threat appears to have originated from out of the country as “academic institutions across the country have faced a surge of threats similar to the one sent last week.”

The Baltimore County Police Department is now working with the FBI to investigate the threat, according to officials.

“The Baltimore County Police Department continues to work closely with Baltimore County Public Schools to monitor this situation and to ensure that all students and staff remain safe.”
