Bomb and shooting threats target dozens of schools across U.S.
Bomb and mass shooting threats were made against more than two dozen schools in New Jersey on Tuesday, along with schools in at least six other states, forcing evacuations and lockdowns that affected thousands of students.
They were the latest in a string of anonymous threats of violence, all apparent hoaxes, made against U.S. schools in recent weeks.
As least 26 schools in New Jersey received the threats by phone starting at about 8:50 a.m. EST, said Bergen County Sheriff Michael Saudino, adding that the schools were all subsequently declared safe.
"When we catch the people doing this, an example is going to be made," Saudino said.
Made in a robotic voice, the threats appeared to come from computer-generated phone numbers that could be traced back to a location in Bakersfield, California, Saudino said.

Terrorists-planning on attacking our schools.
They better pray they don't
Nothing will happen to the "people responsible" because nobody will be caught and most likely anybody who is will be a patsy so everybody could feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking justice was served!
