There’s extra security at the Kuumba Academy Charter School after a shooting threat against a building appeared on social media.

The Wilmington Police became involved in beefing up security at the school while everyone entering the facility has to pass through a metal detector.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that there was a similar threat against William Penn High School near New Castle.

The paper reports that Delaware State Police are investigating that incident.

Police posted an extra trooper at the school on Monday following a shooting threat on social media.
