Authorities in Montgomery County say a person who sounded like an adolescent, called-in a bomb threat this (Tuesday) morning, in the Stanton Community School District. According to reports, the call came in just before 8-a.m. from someone claiming they would bring a bomb to the school. Montgomery County Sheriff Joe Sampson and deputies investigated and in the process, screened all K-thru-12th grade students as they entered the school. The students then reported to their homeroom under the supervision of adults.

After a thorough search of building failed to uncover any suspicious devices, the all-clear was given at 9:10-a.m., with classes resuming as normal. The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the threat is asked to call the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office or Stanton school administration.
