It's extremely rare for a major U．S．city to close all its schools because of a threat and it reflected the unease hanging about in Southern California following the terrorist attack that killed 14people at a holiday lunch two weeks ago in San Bernardino．

The shutdown closed all its schools across Los Angeles．Officials announced Tuesday evening that schools would reopen Wednesday．
Officials in LA defended the move to shut schools，with that city's police chief dismissing the criticism as"irresponsible．"
