Students were seen on video 'getting into specific positions and locations within the cafeteria, timing their actions,' police said.

Investigators said officials at the school became aware Thursday of a threat written on a bathroom stall. School officials and law enforcement reviewed video and interviewed two students who had entered the bathroom around the time the graffiti was discovered.On Friday, two groups of students in the cafeteria"decided to capitalize on the threat" and"appear to collaborate with each other to create a panic," police said.

"Video of these individuals prior to and during the incident shows that neither the male nor the female students observed a gun or flinched as you would expect when shots had just been fired," police."At no time in the video, does anyone stand on a table and present a gun, or fire shots as some people have posted."

The agency planned to have an extra presence on campus Monday to"ensure that everything goes smoothly."
