School bomb threat escalated
|
|
March 18, 2013 |
On Thursday, the Bonners Ferry High School
Student Council held a special assembly in
response to a bomb threat found in a boys locker
room stall March 7, the eighth bomb threat to
disrupt a school this year.
On the first school day after that assembly,
threat number nine was received, and this one
prompted all five county public schools being
closed early and all student activities for the
day to be cancelled.
At about 10:05 a.m. today, a 911 call was made
to the Boundary County Sheriff's Office in which
the caller threatened to "blow up the school."
The individual did not specify which school.
Due to the ongoing investigation, little
information is being released by law
enforcement.
Thus far, the threats have all been confined to
a single campus, either the high school or
junior high. Today, Bonners Ferry police,
sheriff's deputies, Idaho State Police, Customs
and Border Patrol Officers and more had to
descend on five schools scattered throughout
Boundary County.
Though the threat, once again, appears to be a
hoax, law enforcement and emergency personnel
once again had no choice but to take the threat
seriously.
While the investigation will continue, classes
in Boundary County public schools will resume on
normal schedule on Tuesday.
This story will be updated as information
becomes available. |
