Authorities close street surrounding Heights High School after reported threat
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities shut down streets around Heights High School Friday afternoon after the school reportedly received a threat.

A stretch of 14th Street between Oxford and Columbia was among the closures.
The threat came in on a phone call around 12:55 p.m., Houston police said.
The incident is part of a troubling pattern for Heights High School. In November 2023, the school was evacuated after a reported bomb threat. Nearly a year earlier, in September 2022, the school went into lockdown for a similar reason.
