The Donna Independent School District in Donna, Texas, announced Wednesday night that it will be canceling school district-wide on Thursday and Friday after receiving a "credible threat of violence."
No details were immediately released about what type of threat was made, although the district said it is currently under investigation.
"The safety and security of our students and staff is our first priority," the announcement said. "Classes will resume Tuesday morning."
According to a local news outlet MyRGV.com, a source familiar with the matter said law enforcement found an AK-47 and a list of targeted students inside the home of one of the suspects.
