Threat Made Against Northern Bedford High School

An anonymous tip that a bomb was to be placed in the bathroom of the Northern Bedford High School delayed the start of school Monday morning, Feb. 8, while authorities secured the building.

According to district Superintendent Todd Beatty, a tip through Safe2Say alerted officials of the threat. Parents were alerted via email and automated telephone calls at approximately 7:45 a.m.

Beatty said state police and school administrators inspected the bathrooms in question prior to student arrival and searched bags and limited access to the building to the main entrance.

According to Beatty, police are obtaining a search warrant to identify the ISP address of the person who made the report to Safe2Say.
