According to the police, the bomb threat letter said, ” Hello. I am writing to let you know that I have placed several explosive devices within school classrooms. The explosives are skillfully hidden, in black plastic bags. I will erase every last one of you from this world. Not a single soul will survive.

I will gladly laugh when I watch the news, only to see the parents show up at the school and to be greeted by the cold, dismembered bodies of their children.” According to officials, fire tenders and police teams were dispatched to the premises of St. Thomas School and Vasant Valley School after receiving bomb threats via email. The Fire Department stated that nothing suspicious has been found.
