There was another bomb threat yesterday.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Worcester County school district officials said the high school got a live call at around 9:30 a.m.

The school’s 13-hundred students were quickly evacuated.

Law enforcement officials found no explosives and the students went back to class at around 11:25 a.m.

Meanwhile, there was a rumor of a bomb threat at Richard A. Shields Elementary School.

But Alyssa Titus with the Cape Henlopen School District said there was no bomb threat.

Delaware State Police said there were no threats against Delaware Public Schools yesterday.
