Phone threats target three Oahu schools

Oct 31, 2026

Fake bomb/threat phone calls hit three Oahu schools, but police say none of the threats were credible.

  • Punahou, Iolani, and Waikiki Elementary all got anonymous phone threats the same day.
  • Punahou said its call came from out of state.
  • Police investigated and found no credible danger at any of the schools.
  • This fits a pattern of similar hoax calls hitting Hawaii schools recently.

Outlook: Expect schools and police to keep tightening security checks as these hoax calls continue.
