There was a second day of automated bomb threats against Delmarva schools yesterday.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Delmar Elementary School received threats and that calls went out to parents. Eventually the facility was declared safe.

The paper also reports that police said bomb threats were also made to Millsboro Middle School and Beacon Middle School in Lewes which prompted evacuations.

In addition, Ocean City Elementary School got a phone call that was not automated at around 9:15 a.m.

The Daily Times reports that it was determined that the school was safe near noon time.
