HERRIMAN, Utah — Herriman Police will have extra officers at high schools in its city Friday after some threats were made against an unidentified school.
 
The Jordan School District said they and the police do not believe any of the threats are credible and are working with police to figure out where the threat came from.
 
Officials said they’re keeping an eye on any other potential threats and added that the threats could be coming from out of the state or even out of the country.
 
This is a developing story and will be updated.
