From Press staff reports | Posted: Thursday, January 21, 2010 | 14 comments

Egg Harbor Township High School students evacuated the school this morning after a bomb threat, a day after a different threat left them in lockdown.

The students were returning to classes at 11:13 this morning after an all-clear announcement went over loudspeakers.

A bomb threat was called in to the school at 9:45 a.m., according to Egg Harbor Township Police Sgt. Robert Gray.

He said nobody is hurt, and investigators are searching the school. Students were staying warm in parked school buses.

The school issued a "code yellow" indicating a bomb threat at that time. Emergency vehicles are blocking access to the school.

At dismissal near 2 p.m. Wednesday, a report of an armed intruder triggered a lockdown at the school. Police said that no intrusion occurred at the school, but they are continuing to investigate an incident that may have happened elsewhere.
