There was a brief scare this morning at Riverside Middle School after a Code Black (bomb threat) was issued.
San Benito CISD school and police personnel evacuated the school before classes started, roughly around 7:45 a.m., when reports regarding the bomb threat began to circulate.
According to the District, school police officers and law enforcement personnel began the investigation after the threat came in from an anonymous caller early this morning. The building was declared safe at approximately 8:45 a.m. Students and staff have returned back to classes and have resumed their normal schedule, the district said in a statement.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding the bomb threat is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 956-361-2125.

Think about it, a one hour search in a building that is huge and proclaimed safe to enter. Does that really make sense to you? I feel it was more let’s look around, all is good, cross your fingers.
according to sources, the person responsible for the bomb threat pertaining to this article has been caught. i’m assuming this is being kept hush hush since the person responsible is, according to sources, a minor.
nonetheless, great job done by local authorities and school officials. two thumbs up!
I hope police/authorities are able to find whoever was responsible for this incident. Whatever happened to the person that caused havoc across the district last year. Was the party responsible for that ever found?
