LEESBURG, Va. — Additional police officers will be patrolling an elementary school in Leesburg, Virginia, Monday after a rumored online threat, police said. The beefed up security is a measure taken out of an abundance of caution, despite the threat not seeming credible.  An online chat mentioned a rumored threat towards the Cool Spring Elementary School on Tavistock Drive in Leesburg. The Leesburg Police Department (LPD) said it's working with Loudoun County Public Schools to continue investigating the threat.
