Bomb and shooting threat calls to Delaware schools now total 21

Delaware Public Media

More bomb threats at Delaware schools Wednesday: East Millsboro Elementary and Everett Meredith Middle in Middletown were evacuated around 10 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Police searched the buildings in response to computer-distorted called-in threats and found nothing. The calls mark 21 threats since last week, among dozens more up and down the east coast.

The FBI's Baltimore field office is reportedly now leading the investigation into the threats. They did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

State and local police and other state agencies are assisting.
