A Snapchat message posted Wednesday that implied violence at Eastlake High School is not a threat to student safety, Chula Vista police said Thursday.
Police told NBC 7 they have identified the person who posted the Snapchat and spoke with the person, identified by police as a student.
Investigators said the student told them he posted the image and caption as a joke.
At this time, there is no threat to the school, police said.
They have not launched a criminal investigation at this point.
The following email was sent Wednesday to parents of students:
"This evening we were made aware of a threat to Eastlake High via social media.
