MySpace.Com Threat Closes Lakewood School
LAKEWOOD - Students at Clover Park High School were told to stay home Friday after dozens of students received a message on their MySpace.com account that someone was going to attack the school.

One student called 911 after receiving the threat around 9:30 p.m. Thursday. He said the message claimed students would die Friday and that "no one would ever treat me bad again."

The student who received the message says he didn't know who sent it, but Lakewood police say they believe it was sent to about 25 student accounts.

Police are working with Internet providers to identify the people that received the message, as well as identify the suspect.

It's not the first time they've had threats at that school. Just last month, students there were sent home because a threat was found at another school that singled out Clover Park.
