INDIANAPOLIS -- School police and staff searched George Washington Community High School for possible explosives Wednesday morning after a bomb threat was made from inside the school.
School officials contacted IMPD, saying they had received a bomb threat from an internal line within the building shortly before 10 a.m.
Following the threat, the entire building was searched by school administrators, police and custodial staff. No explosives were found during the search.
The building was eventually given the all-clear around 11 a.m.
This statement was released on behalf of Indianapolis Public Schools:
"Upon learning of the potential threat, school staff immediately followed district emergency procedures and the school safety plan to ensure student safety was maintained. The call was quickly found to be a student prank with no validity. A search of the school found no danger to student safety, and an all-clear was given."
