Bomb threat at Rowlett High School a hoax
By BRIAN PORTER/Managing Editor
A bomb threat Tuesday morning phoned in to Rowlett High School administration proved to be a hoax.
At about 9:53 a.m., a call was received at the school, located at 4700 Kirby Road, indicating a bomb had been placed somewhere inside the school building. The caller, believed to be a teenage male, then hung up the phone.
The Rowlett Police Department responded to the high school and began to work with staff to implement the response plan in place within the Garland ISD for such incidents.
The non-interruption of classes was due to the cooperation and training that has been on-going between the RPD and the GISD in preparation for these and other types of events, a statement from the Rowlett Police Department indicated.
High schools in North Texas receive numerous bomb threats, according to police, and although they may be false the RPD reports that all such calls are taken with the same caution.
No arrests were made and there are no suspects at this time in today’s case at Rowlett High School. The case is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the RPD at 972-412-6200.
