DAVIS (CBS13) -- Harper Junior High School in Davis will be closed Monday while police investigate an anonymous shooting threat. The threat claimed a shooting was going to take place on Monday, March 5th. The school says someone anonymously reported the threat on a mobile app called "Stop-it" which lets users report inappropriate behavior.  The decision to close was announced in a letter to parents that was posted to the school's website on Saturday.

There are no known threats to other schools in the city--but police will be present to monitor. Classes will continue the following Tuesday.
