Unfounded bomb threat prompts cancellation of classes at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif. (KABC) -- An unfounded bomb threat prompted the cancellation of classes Monday at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, authorities said.

The anonymous threat was received by the school via email at 5 a.m. and immediately reported to the LAPD, according to Ingrid Zelinger, an assistant to the principal.

The incident prompted a "precautionary" search of the campus, at 13645 Riverside Drive, by Los Angeles Police Department officers. A robocall informed students' parents of the matter.

No credible threat was found during the investigation, police said.
