Pomona Unified School District counselors took to social media Wednesday to state the threat is not credible, but more deputies will be present as a precaution.
 
A sample of a threat has been shared throughout Facebook and Twitter recently, with posters mentioning Diamond Ranch High School. One user who shared the post said the threat was found in a cafeteria bathroom.
 
It is unclear if the threat being shared on social media is the specific threat being investigated.
