The incidents occurred around 9:30 a.m. this morning, Tuesday January 19, 2016 when a robotic style or computer generated voice phone call was received in each of the school’s offices.
In the case at Long Neck Elementary School, the caller stated he was armed and on the roof of the school and threatened to do harm to the students and faculty. Students there were immediately placed on lock down and troopers and a K9 unit from Capitol Police Department immediately responded to the school. Delaware State Police Aviation also responded and conducted an aerial search of the school and the grounds with nothing suspicious located. An administrative search was conducted of the cafeteria and once cleared, the students were moved into that area before being bussed to a predetermined location away from the school. The remainder of the school was then cleared with nothing of suspicious nature or persons located. The students are currently being transported back to the school to resume school activities.
Students and faculty at Silverlake Elementary School were evacuated onto busses and transported to a safe distance away from the school while administrative searches were conducted with nothing out of the ordinary or suspicious located. Students and staff were allowed back into their school upon the completion of the search and resumed their daily activities.
Woodbridge High School did not have students in the school today, although faculty were present and were temporarily evacuated while administrative searches were conducted with nothing out of the ordinary or suspicious located.

This is getting out of hand. Even if they are empty threats, it is costly for all involved and instills a sense of fear and unrest in the faculty & kids and their loved ones. Get the FBI involved.
ReplyDeleteFolks, Google bomb threats and you will see that it's happening all over the Country and in the UK and Europe.

I think it's time to rethink the idea of huge school campuses where hundreds of kids all go at once to maybe having, small neighborhood schools with just a handful of kids each.
ReplyDeleteThis would save on:
1. Bus and transportation expense
2. Snow days
3. Major illness epidemics
4. Administrative costs
The list goes on. Large centrally controlled and concentrated schools are a bad idea. Period!
scratch that.

I work for a power company, Those are not installed by the government, they are installed by the power coop. They are to monitor the substation they they were pulled from. Read the box people. SCADA is (supervisory control and data acquisition), this is part of the system we use to monitor the power outages. NOT by the government. It is on a separate network that is not connected to the internet. It is about as secure as you can get. The system is owned by the power company that owns those lines. I agree that the government is over reaching and way to large, but educate yourselves before you do something like this.
FBI? ?
ReplyDeleteThey know who is behind it. Why haven't they locked them up??? If one of us had done it we would be in jail.
