“The U.S. Embassy in Honduras has received information of a threat of a mass shooting to take place today, May 6, in Tegucigalpa,” the alert states. “The source also threatened such an event on May 16.  The three target locations mentioned are the Elliot Dover Christian School in Tegucigalpa, the Centro Civico in Tegucigalpa, and an unnamed mall in Tegucigalpa.”

The Elliot Dover Christian School is a bilingual school in the capital and the Centro Civico is a government complex of office towers.
