HPD investigates phone threats made to six Oahu schools

Oct 10, 2026

Honolulu police are looking into phone threats against six Oahu schools, a scare for students and families that turned out to be false.

  • Punahou School in Manoa saw armed officers show up and a shelter-in-place order go out in the afternoon.
  • Le Jardin Academy in Kailua was put on lockdown.
  • Three more schools in Waipahu, Aiea, and downtown Honolulu got threats the same day.
  • Police checked each campus and found no real threat.

Outlook: Police will keep working to trace who made the calls, and schools are expected to return to normal operations.
