WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Update:
The lockdown was lifted around 10:30 a.m. and school will continue as normal, according to the district.
Giorgos Kazanis, a spokesperson for the school district, told ABC10 school began at 8:35 a.m. Thursday morning and it was almost simultaneously that a staff member in the front office received a phone alleging a shooting threat at the campus. Kazanis said the threat was vague and similar to yesterday's threat.
The campus went in a soft lockdown on Thursday, which is when instruction can continue in classrooms, but people must stay in the classrooms, according to Kazanis. In a full lockdown, the lights are turned off, instruction stops and no movement is allowed in the hallways.
The Washington Unified School District said in a Facebook post that West Sacramento police officers walked through the campus and determined the threat was "unsubstantiated."
According to the district, West Sacramento Police Department will continue to monitor and investigate all types of threats.

The West Sacramento Police Department is investigating the threat and says it's "unsubstantiated" at this time.
The district said all students and staff are staying in the first-period classrooms until police have cleared the campus. They are asking people not to go to campus.
School shooting threats have been circulating online recently, prompting other investigations like at Jesuit High School in Sacramento, which turned out not to be directed at the campus.
