MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- School remains in session at Wayzata High School Wednesday as officials investigate a rumored school shooting threat that circulated on social media.

On Wednesday morning, Wayzata H.S. Principal Scott Gengler sent out a letter to parents alerting them to the situation.

There will be increased supervision and police presence at the school Wednesday.
