The first big idea revealed. Shall we say, a tip of the hat . Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a tuesday night. And we begin with the fear that began early today on both sides of this country. For millions of School Children and their parents. Amid this climate of concern over terror. Two threats, including bombs, assault weapons, grenades. One in los angeles. Of course, San Bernardino not far away. Authorities there taking no chances, closing more than 1,000 schools. Some children were already on their way, turned away at the doors. The other threat, right here in new york city. A bomb threat, also targeting schools, but authorities leaving schools open here. Tonight, the very tough call made by authorities in both cities. How do you decide when to close, when to stay open . Abcs matt gutman leading us off from los angeles. Reporter the threat leaving a sea of scscol buses silent. Shuttering nearly 1,100 schools. 650,000. Some parents turned away. Oh, my goodness. I as superintendent am not going to take the chance with the life of a student. Reporter l. A. Superintendent Ramon Cortines saying this city still rattled in the wake the San Bernardino terrorist attack two weeks ago. The fbi still investigationeing why one of the attackers there, syed farook, had pictures of a high school on his phone. The first alert at 5 00 a. M. That threat emailed to a school board commissioner. By 7 00 a. M. , the decision had been made. The district issuing these robocalls. Abc news learning the letter invoked allah and threatened attacks with bombers, automatic weapons and grenades in schools. We do not see that as a edible terrorist thrhrt and we are investigating it as a hoho. Reporter making the opposite decision, choosingngot to cancel classes. In los angeles this afternoon the lapd and sheriris office combmbg every single schoooofor suspicious objects. They have to take into consideration for the children of los angeles. I think its irresponsible, to base on facts that have yet to be determined, to criticize that decision at this point. Reporter the cancellations wreaking havoc. Parents taking the threat seriously. So, you made the decision to pull him from school . His day care is not necessarily closed, but i decided to just keep him out. So worrisome for the parents. Matt gutman with us live. And they are still searching the schools at this hour . Eporter thats right, david. D. Even though investigators are telling me they are leaning towards this being a hoax, they are searching and clearing all the schools. They say they should be done by this evening and schools should be reopened tomorrow. David . Lets hope so. Matt, thank you. As you point out, the fbi studying the two threats for clues. And as you heard matt just report, theyre leaning towards and the one here in new york city had clues early on leading them to believe this was not the real thing. Abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross tonight with what was said in the threat and what led authorities to leave schools here open instead. Reporter the first tipoff for new york police today was that the alleged threat, involved a secret jihadist terror cell, nerve gas agents, high. Powered weapons and mass casualties, seemed remarkably similar to the plot line of the tv program homeland. The instigator of the threat may be a homeland fan. Basically watching homeland episodes that it mirrors a lot of recent episode on homeland. Reporter police said the message sent to new york read in part, kwl omething big is going down. Not only are there bombs, but there are nerve gas agents set to go off at a specific time. During launch hour. New york officials said they knew immediately it was a hoax, it was so generic, so ouandish and posed to numerous School Systems timesimultaneously. Reporter the message continued, with a glaring typo. Me, and my 138 comrades will die tomorrow in the name of allah, with a lowercase a, at least in the new york version. It would be incredible to think that njie hadany jihadist would not spell allah wh a capital a. Reporter los angeles got a similar message, with the sender saying he would personally lead the attacks. One person cant lead an attack in both cities. So they realized right then and there that it didnt have credibility. Reporter cutandpaste job . Definitely. Reporter but with the pain of the San Bernardino attacks still fresh in california, there was broad support for the decision made by los angeles schools to play it safe today. And brian ross is with us. This is so tricky, because what do you dodo closee down every school now andnd if you leave it open, youou have the other concern for parents. The fbi still investigating both cases closely tonight. Reporter thats right, david. While police here called the for the people involved, there was nothing funny about the threat. Under federal law, a conviction for the two bomb threats, if hoaxes, could mean up to 20 years in prison, david. Brian ross with us tonight. Brian, thank you. Now, to the race for 2016. Its fight night for the republicans. All eyes on donald trump, of course, walking onto that debate stage with his poll numbers now reaching a new high.

Reporter tonight, will his vals pounce . Another big question that Ted Cruz Donald trump match, with the texas senator gaining on the billionaire, will the two friends intensify their attacks on one another . We may see a few thoughts coming in our direction and i suppose, in a sense, thats a backhanded comeplimentcompliment. Talk radio, rush limbaugh, a genuine conservative, even in the republican field, would not go after cruz thisisay. So, thats that just raised a red flag for me. Reporter but cruz and trump, not the only show in town. Marco rubio today, surveying the debate stage, hoping he can emerge as an establishment alternative. And cecilia vega with us live from inside the hall. And cecilia, as we know, donald trump was dominating the headlines with his proposed ban on muslims coming to america. But today, ben carson and something he said. Reporter thats right, h released his plan to defeat isis. In it, he calls a prominent muslim civil rights group, the council on amamican islamic relations a supporter of terror. Carson left the spin room moments ago, hes Still Standing by those comments.

Repororr every single one of the kmds on stage besides trump said its a bad idea. That cant change. But dont look for ted cruz to criticize donald trump on this.
