Bomb threat at my school today

Students returning to Forney High after bomb threat

01:53 PM CST on Friday, February 15, 2008

From Staff Reports

Students are returning to Forney High School this afternoon after a bomb threat was found to be false.

The school was evacuated Friday morning after the threat was called into the sheriff's office, a representative at the Forney ISD said.

Authorities swept the campus and reported at 11:40 a.m. that no bomb had been found, said Jennie Moore, a school district spokewoman.

Students were relocated to the middle school as authorities swept the campus, Ms. Moore said.

Parents who picked up their children will return them to classes, and remaning students will be transported back to high school for the remainder of the day, Ms. Moore said.

About 1,700 students attend the high school.

It was pretty crazy. The beginning of second period they made an announcement for no one to go into the hallway. Then about 55 minutes later we all went outside, oddly enough 2 weeks before we had a drill where we went and got on buses and learned all the saftey rules because of some new state legislature.

We thought it was just a drill, then busses drove by full of students, then some came and got us and they took us to another school. It was complete chaos I heard outside with parents. We were in a gym, and they could come and get us. They put their kids name on a list and then it was taken inside. Parents were fighting for the last spots on each one.

I was in the gym until 1:20 when my friends got called, so I just snuk out with them. There were 150 parents behind a barricade waiting.


and lol at the last paragraph, I don't think anyone went back to school.

I wonder if it will make CNN. I know the local news had a chopper overhead showing the parents trying to get their kids.

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

I could remember when my high school went through some of this. It was my junior year, and near the end of the year (I'd say late may) we were all told to evacuate to the football stadium, which is not something we normally do. The whole school hangs out there for about 3 hours as the bomb squad searched the building, they didn't find anything, although we were all kind of ready to just leave, as we felt a little uneasy after a bomb threat about everybody being in one place (what if the bomb would have been in the stadium, and a fake one in the school?). They found some evidence though of a kid planning some sort of school shooting, whether it was real or fake (as in the kid was just planning it for the sake of planning it and not carrying it out), a hit list was found. Although I was not on the kid's list, several of my friends were who I was with most of my day, so I, like them, decided to stay home that day. Nothing ended up happening and the kid was caught. I didn't hear anything more about the kid since he was expelled, don't even remember his name now, he didn't even have any sort of relationship with my friends, he just didn't like them apparently.

I hope you don't have any more copy cat type of things at your school, people really shouldn't joke about this kind of stuff.

I don't think they ever said whether or not a bomb or something was found, just that the building was "cleared". What is weird was the threat was called into the Sheriffs office, not just a note or anything in the school bathroom like they usually are.

This used to be a yearly occurrence at my old High School. Seriously, we got false threats all the time, hasn't happened recently but I'm sure it will. Always kids wanting to get out of a test, or just deciding to be an *** for no reason.

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

I had bomb threats twice when I was in high school. Once was in my sophomore year and they sent us out to the football stadium bleachers for about 2 hours until they searched the building. Then another one occurred in my senior year right before the end of the day, and I had left my car keys in my gym locker since it was during class so I just took a bus home because I wasn't going to wait 3 hours to get back inside.

The year after I graduated there were about 4 different bomb threats during the year, mainly because kids just started writing them so they could get out of class.

That happened at my high school two years before I got there (so 7th grade). A guy didn't want to go to school, so in the morning, he emailed a bomb threat. They got the day off of school, but he went to prison for 10 or so years (he must have gone all out).

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

Bomb threats were a rite of passage of my high school

I probably had 3 during freshmen year, and then 1-2 each year thereafter.

When it happened in the summer/spring, it was a nice break to go outside. My school had a lot of lazy mofos and I'm pretty sure they wanted out of class.

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

I have never had any of those, but I am honestly wondering if we will considering what happened with NIU and the connection we have

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

I would of rather of been in class then sitting on my *** on the gym floor for an hour, then in bleachers for another 1.5.

We had a shooting threat at my school back in October. Some rival gangs were supposed to converge there or something, but nothing happened.

There is a short video story. If you click on view more video you can see just how chaotic it was. That parking lot had 5 cars in it when we pulled up.

Re: Bomb threat at my school today

The worst part about these is when people freak out. 99 times out of 100, these threats are no big deal. And even when they are, what are parents going to be able to do about it?

When I was in high school we had one major bomb threat. In my city there were four main high schools. I remember that after we were taken outside, we all were getting calls and texts from people at the three other schools saying they heard that a bomb had exploded and were we OK, or that there had been a shooting. Apparently there was even a rumor that terrorists had taken over our school. It added some humor to the situation.
