Nothing Suspicious Found During Search After Bomb Threat at South Windsor High School

Nothing suspicious or dangerous was found during an investigation into a bomb threat that prompted an early dismissal at South Windsor High School on Tuesday morning, according to police.

Officers were contacted by South Windsor High School around 8:15 a.m. about a voicemail that was received indicating a bomb threat at the school.

Out of an abundance of caution, authorities said the school was evacuated and students were sent home for the day.

Police responded to the scene and with help from the Connecticut State Police Emergency Service Unit Canine, the building was thoroughly searched. Investigators said nothing suspicious or dangerous was found.

Students are allowed to return to the school to get their belongings between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

A criminal investigation is now underway to determine who is responsible for the threat. Anyone with information is asked to contact Ofc. Pete Korchari at (860) 648-6337.
