Investigators have linked a 12-year-old to four of six recent bomb threats at Montgomery County schools .
Jamie Lozada-McBride, a 15-year-old sophomore at Montgomery Blair High School, was in his journalism class earlier this week when news of the latest bomb threat emerged.
First students were told to stay in their classrooms. Then they were ushered outside to the stadium bleaches so police could sweep through the school. Outside, as Jamie and others his hung out and scrolled through TikTok, they again found themselves working their way through fear to normalcy.And it was all caused, police said Wednesday, by a 12-year-old. The youth emailed threats targeting Blair on Oct. 13, 16 and 23 as well as one targeting Oak View Elementary School on Oct. 15, police said.
Jones said the child admitted to his involvement in the threats targeting Blair and Oak View. Police are probing recent threats targeting two other schools — Rockville High on Monday and Albert Einstein High on Wednesday. It was not clear Wednesday if police had linked the youth to those cases.While each report has so far proved unfounded, each threat still left an impact.
The threats generally come from two categories: Local sources, such as students or former students of a particular schools with a grievance; orTrump said that some school administrators reflexively overact to bomb threats. “We recommend assess first, then react,” Trump said. “Too often, administrators react, then assess.”
A note went out to parents at approximately 6:51 a.m. notifying them of the threat. Students had to wait in the school’s stadium until police cleared the building at 9:20 a.m., according to a letter from Principal Renay Johnson to Blair parents. The threat to Oak View, by email on a Sunday, was cleared in enough time for school to go uninterrupted the next day, according to school and police officials.The Silver Splinter
