Bomb threat prompts cancelled classes at a Sherman Oaks high school

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. (FOX 11 / CNS) - An anonymous bomb threat prompted cancellation of classes Monday at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.

"Early this morning Notre Dame High School received an anonymous, threatening email,'' according to a statement on the school's website.

"It was reported to the LAPD,'' the school statement said. "As a result of the precautionary police activity, Notre Dame High School will not conduct classes today. We expect classes to resume as scheduled tomorrow
morning.''

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said only that an investigation was underway, but other details were not immediately available.

The campus is at 13645 Riverside Drive.

About 8:30 a.m., the California Highway Patrol reported that "police activity'' related to an LAPD investigation had prompting the closure of the Woodman Avenue offramps from the Ventura (101) Freeway, which would limit
traffic from accessing the neighborhood where the school is located.
