PLEASANT HILL — Officials say two students are suspected of being involved in the threatening messages posted against their high school in a Des Moines suburb. Southeast Polk Community School District Superintendent Craig Menozzi released the information in a statement Wednesday night. Pleasant Hill police say they’ve identified persons of interest in the case, but they’re still questioning several students.
A series of threats against Southeast Polk High School have been posted on a social media app over several days. Some of the threats have also been directed at Pleasant Hill police officers.
Authorities have stepped up their security presence at the school.
