My kid was in one of the schools, back to class already. Principal indicated that almost twenty schools got these calls today in MA. We had a similar spike in January.

(17,469 posts)my thoughts were that threatened violence and actual violence of this type occurs a lot in April. The prevailing theory is Hitler's birthday.

(14,022 posts)Speculation included the possibility that someone or group was probing school and/or police response tactics.
Helicopters hovered overhead for hours.
Unnerving to say the least.

(6,402 posts)My daughter just text once in awhile that they were still waiting while the building was being checked. I just kept working since that's what I had to do.
I can't remember a time when any of these bomb calls were actually true and on a scale necessary to do any damage.
