What??

That is crazy. The kids get out pretty soon and the transfer buses are probably already in route from other catholic schools.

A bomb threat? crazy a$$ world.

Or it's just a stupid prank like the same kind of bomb threats that happen in schools every year. We had one or two per year in high school.

Perhaps. My kids don't go to St. Johns but we have never had one at the school they attend. Thankfully.

The state of Maryland prolly fell off the wall and they thought it was a gun.

Haven't seen them post anything. They did say all students and staff were safe and the kiddos couldn't take home any backpacks, etc because they are staying there for the search. Parents were contacted.

The road is open and all remaining kids are all out on the back field.

I'm thinking it was a prank gone wrong. You know the kids there, what are your thoughts?

I think it was a poorly planned and executed prank.

One morning I had to go to court, and someone called in a threat.

I got there, and wondered why everyone was standing outside.

My guess is, they were late for court.
