Bomb Threats Target Multiple Columbus-Area Schools The Columbus Police Department is investigating a series of bomb threats that have been made against multiple schools in the area. The threats were reported at four different schools on Tuesday morning, prompting authorities to evacuate students and staff as a precautionary measure. According to police reports, the first threat was received around 9:00 am at Linden-McKinley High School. A similar threat was then made against Northland High School, followed by two more threats targeting Briggs Middle School and West High School. All four schools were evacuated as a result of the threats, with students and staff being relocated to nearby buildings or outside areas. The Columbus Police Department's Bomb Squad responded to each location, conducting thorough searches for any potential explosives or suspicious devices. No bombs were found at any of the schools, but police officials say they are taking the threats seriously and are working to identify the source of the incidents.
