Wabasha-Kellogg Bomb Scare False Alarm

The Wabasha-Kellogg staff found a broken metal can at 8 a.m. that was filled with a certain type of debris, laying on the playground. The staff was worried with how the debris was spread throughout the can and around the can, thinking it might have been some type of explosive. The elementary school just notified the parents, but the rest of the school was evacuated from the building and the police were asking around to see if any threats were made to the students.


In the end, they found out that the can was filled with some type of cement or mortar. They figured that some students were probably just horsing around and smashed the can when school was not in session. "Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives collected evidence at the scene just in case", said superintendent Jim Freihammer.


We had a false bomb threat when I was in middle school at Rushford-Peterson. The kid was found guilty at the scene and was expelled from such  stupidity act. I think it is ridiculous that kids can think they can get away with something like a bomb threat, or even think it is funny. A bomb threat is a big deal and will scare a lot of people and families and is not something to joke about.
