Apparently, Reuters is a little skeptical -- Columbine High School Closed After Threat

    DENVER (Reuters) - School officials on Thursday called off classes at Columbine High School, the scene of
    a student massacre in April, after a student received a ``credible threat'' over the Internet.


    Jefferson County Schools district spokeswoman Marilyn Saltzman said a student called the school and
    reported receiving a threat over the Internet. She said she had no details, but that it was considered a
    ``credible threat'' and officials decided to close the school.
