Police clear bomb threat at Caldwell Middle School; call came from out of state
The Caldwell Police Department cleared Caldwell Middle School on Friday after students were placed in hall check because of a bomb threat.
According to a Facebook post from the Caldwell Police Department, officers received a call Friday morning indicating there was a suspected bomb threat at the school. Authorities traced the call back to a landline from Illinois.
The Caldwell Police Department said it believed the threat was regarding a school in Louisiana, but authorities still “performed a sweep” at Caldwell schools, including Vallivue and charter schools. The schools were placed in hall check until police completed the sweep.
Police worked with authorities in Illinois to determine there is no evidence to suggest there is a bomb threat in Caldwell schools.
