According to authorities, calls were made to Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills, and Agoura High School in Agoura Hills.
In the call to Notre Dame, a man claimed he was going to "shoot up" the campus, according to investigators.

Out of an abundance of caution, authorities responded to all three schools.
