OWASSO, Okla. – After interviewing several students regarding an alleged threat made against the Owasso 7th grade center, police say there is no current credible threat.

Officers are continuing to investigate but allowed students to attend classes with additional police presence as a precaution.

The situation began Thursday when, Owasso police say, a student claimed to have overheard another student saying what he thought was a shooting threat at the middle school.

No charges have been filed and no disciplinary action has been taken yet.
