MENIFEE, Calif. (KABC) -- Two juveniles are in police custody after allegedly making an online threat against a Menifee school.

Investigators say the threat was directed at Santa Rosa Academy but did not target any particular student or employee. Police began investigating on Saturday.

The threat, posted on Instagram, said "Kill every Santa Rosa person," according to detective Phillip Pico of the Menifee Police Department.

Police served a search warrant in the 32500 block of Ontario Way in the city of Lake Elsinore, which led to the arrest of the two juveniles.

It's unclear if the teens are students at the charter school. They are being held at South West Juvenile Hall.

Santa Rosa Academy was scheduled to hold classes as normal Monday.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Menifee Police Department at (951) 210-1051.
