ATLANTA, Ga. – Officials at an Atlanta middle school evacuated the building and called in local police and the Department of Homeland Security after allegedly receiving a bomb threat and finding a “suspicious package” on campus.
Firetrucks, ambulances, police cars, and other first responders descended on Brown Middle School Wednesday after a report of a suspicious package prompted school officials to evacuate the building, WXIAreports.
Students mulled around the school year and the perimeter of the campus as the Department of Homeland Security analyzed the situation, and police combed the school for explosives, Atlanta Public Schools spokeswoman Kimberly Willis Green told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
“Atlanta Public Schools can confirm that Brown Middle School received a bomb threat,” a district statement read. “The school was placed on lockdown while the Atlanta Police and the Department of Homeland Security swept the campus. They found a bag and advised the school administrators to evacuate the building. APD and Homeland Security are currently analyzing the contents of the bag. All students and staff are safe.”
“And just what was in the bag?” the Constitution reports. “Homework, Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said.”

There was another "Bomb Threat" in a school that was aluminum foil wrapped chicken sandwiches, they thought it was plastic explosives!
ReplyDeleteA computer tech forgot his small tool box at a school and they x-rayed it, saw wires and batteries inside so they blew it up. I guess you got to keep the bomb squad guys employed.
