CORONADO, Calif. — Coronado Police and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating threats made against four local schools. Police confirm the threats were made in two posts Thursday on Craigslist and another on Friday. The posts target several schools: Village Elementary and Silver Strand Elementary in Coronado; Cabrillo Elementary and Bay Point Pre-school Near Liberty Station in Point Loma. “This is terrorism. This is absolute terrorism against our Navy and against our kids,” said Coronado resident, Maryke Davis. The poster claims to hate the U.S. military in general, the U.S. Navy in particular, and asks terrorists to attack the schools and its children in October. “They scoped out the school? I went to school there,” said Stanley Davis, now in middle school who once attended Silver Strand Elementary. The posts show photographs of the schools and ask about the use of automatic weapons or bombs. “We’re two blocks from the school that they say they’re going to destroy, so it’s kind of disturbing,” Davis added. Coronado Police officials say, while it could be someone just spouting off, they take all threats of this nature seriously. Read the entire 10News.com story here.
