OSHKOSH (NBC 26) -- Following an officer-involved shooting at Oshkosh West High School on Tuesday morning, Oshkosh Police said they received a possible threat to Oshkosh North High School.

Police said a comment was written on the Oshkosh Police Department’s Facebook page under the post about the officer-involved shooting at Oshkosh West.

After an investigation, police said they do not feel that students are in danger and that this comment was not meant to be a threat against Oshkosh North High School.

Police believe the reports to be unsubstantiated, according to a Tuesday night news release.

The most recent threat was traced to an internet location in the Country of Belgium, police said.

All Oshkosh Area Schools will be closed Wednesday following the shooting at Oshkosh West.
