Threats to Black students at Niagara Falls schools ‘not credible,’ extra police assigned

Following reported threats made on social media against Black students at Niagara Falls City Schools, the district will have an increased number of officers in the schools throughout the week.

NFCSD Superintendent Mark Laurrie told News 4’s Marlee Tuskes the threats were deemed not credible in an investigation by authorities, but as a precaution, additional officers will be brought in.

These threats come just two days after the racist attack at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, in which, the accused shooter targeted Black shoppers.
