Bomb dogs searched Columbus Middle School Thursday afternoon after a teacher discovered a bomb threat written on a boys’ bathroom wall according to Assistant Superintendent Craig Shannon. Shannon said school officials did not know when the threat was written but cleared the school as a precaution.
Shannon said he expected students to return to class later this afternoon. School will be dismissed as usual, Shannon said.
