Two Brooklyn schools receive phoned-in shooting threats
Two Brooklyn high schools received threatening phone calls Monday morning, according to the NYPD.
The two schools, Cristo Ray Brooklyn High School in East Flatbush and Brooklyn Prospect High School in Kensington, each got phone calls within minutes of each other.
The first call, directed at Brooklyn Prospect High School, a charter school, was made at 8:13 a.m. and threatened to "shoot up" the school.
The NYPD says that a second call was made to the Catholic school Cristo Ray just two minutes later and made the same statement.
It is unclear if either school was evacuated.
There are no injuries to report from either school at this time.
