I got a text from a friend talking about it, and then about a half hour later, the school, although they didn't repeat the entire story, repeated enough to make it true:
Apparently, one of the people that is in my grade was going through this situation with his girlfriend, and they ended up breaking up, and he got so pissed about the whole thing, he threatened to cause a disruption in the school with the use of guns. Sure it's a threat, but according to my friend, he sounded pretty damn serious.
My school said that they would still hold school tomorrow and that they would have a shit-ton of police surrounding the area, but you want to talk about frightening? You want to talk about the chills? This gave me both and then some.
Whatever is going on, it's scary. And although I'm scheduled to be with my Improvisational Comedy Troupe for a show tomorrow at the school, I honestly feel that it's better to miss it then risk death.

If there's a positive, at least they're aware/can take precautions.
At the very least, cops need to be paying a visit to this kid right now if they haven't already.

I remeber one at my HS. Someone wrote in fake blood all over the walls of one bathroom that on X day blood will flow. Think the cops took care of the idiot.

After 9/11, my school got a bomb threat during class and we were all evacuated. The call came from a pay phone in the school. I wonder if the idiot realized he was following the same "the call is coming from inside the house" or it was just a spur of the moment.

I feel almost innocent for having experienced school in the 90's, before most of this crap became so commonplace. Heck, Colombine did not happen till my junior year.

In middle school we had a bomb threat a few weeks after Columbine. My mom and my friend's mom kept us out of school on the day it was planned to happen. It's a shame we live in a time where we have to fear for our safety and our children's safety in a place where you should feel safe.  |

I probably had my brother and his sense of humor to thank for that. |

This was over 25 years ago... but I remember getting a free day from school because a senior put an electric fencer (it goes TICK TICK TICK like a bomb) in the auditorium and called it in as a bomb threat.
For the record, he was 18 at the time and got 5 years in jail.

When I was in first and/or second grade, there was someone who called in bomb threats to school several times. The only one I remember clearly was when my class had been away from the school area for some reason, and when we returned there were people all over the school yard.
We: What's going on?
Other kid: It's another bomb threat.
We: Oh, okay.
We didn't quite comprehend it, combined with getting relatively used to it.

One day in high school somebody called in a bomb threat while all the buses were on the way to school. We got to school and they shuffled everybody into the gym, then the buses went and took the elementary/middle school kids to school and then picked us up and took us home. FREE DAY!

Had loads of alerts and bomb scare drills at school during the IRA days of the 80's.

We had a bomb threat in high school. I think it was in 2003 or 2004. They evacuated us all to the football field. I remember there being murmers of "what if the bomb is out here?" from students.

Bomb threats were fairly common when I was in high school. I knew someone who was expelled for it. His mother was on the school board, so not only did he get reinstated, he received a scholarship when he graduated.
Is it any wonder why I walked out of the senior award ceremony (after heckling the hell out of a presenting teacher), didn't want to go to graduation, and took some vindictive pleasure in helping vote her off the school board?
Anyways, the bomb threats got to the point where the elementary school got them too. My nephew spent most of a day in the high school auditorium after a bomb threat at the elementary school, and I had to go sign him out after school.
