So why was Fairfax Underground the first place I thought of when seeing this alert?

The Fairfax County Police Department has determined that online threats that appear to be directed at several FCPS schools are a hoax and not credible. The parents at those FCPS schools listed in the online messages have been notified. These same messages have also been directed at other school districts in Virginia, Maryland, and elsewhere.

The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority. In addition, we believe that, as partners in your child’s education, we have a responsibility to inform you of these kinds of circumstances, even when there is no reason for alarm.

Although all threats are taken seriously, this incident was clearly intended only to disrupt school operations and we do not believe any of our students are at risk. With the assistance of our law enforcement partners, we will continue to be diligent to ensure the safety of students and staff. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Perhaps because someone had posted a copy of the exact same email about two hours before you did?

As long as it's a hoax, and not a credible threat, you can count on Fred.
