Principal: Girl reports bomb threat, admits she wrote it
A 13-year-old girl won’t be returning to Irving Middle School this year after admitting to writing a bomb threat in a bathroom at the school, according to a letter sent from the school to Irving parents Tuesday.
Lincoln Police Capt. Anthony Butler said a bomb threat was discovered Tuesday on a toilet paper dispenser in a first floor girl’s bathroom. He said Irving officials determined the person responsible was a young girl.
In an e-mail sent Wednesday to Irving parents, Principal Hugh McDermott wrote that the unfounded bomb threat was reported to school officials by a student, who later admitted to writing it.
He wrote that he and other officials will talk with students Thursday and “remind all students of the seriousness of these incidents and the severe consequences (school and legal) which come with these actions.”
Police forwarded information on the incident to the Lancaster County Attorney’s Office.
