Police investigate bomb threats at 3 Chula Vista schools, store [Breaking]
Bomb threats were phoned in to three Chula Vista elementary schools and a Home Depot early Tuesday — prompting the campuses to be placed on lockdown — but no explosive devices were found, Chula Vista police said.
The calls were received around 8:30 a.m. at the Loma Verde, Otay and Rohr elementary schools and the Home Depot on Plaza Court near Paseo del Rey, said police Sgt. Anthony Molina. People who answered phones at the schools and the store called police after receiving the threats. They reported that a caller, who sounded male, warned each location that there was a bomb at the site, Molina said.
Officers were dispatched immediately to the four locations to check out the report. The schools were placed on lockdown, with classroom doors locked. About a half hour later, they were put in a stepped-down security level known as secure campus, where no one is allowed to come onto or leave the campus, Molina said.“We were getting multiple of these within about a five-minute range,” he said. “Right off the bat, it had the feel of possibly a hoax” but officers checked the reports out anyway.
There was no indication that anything was amiss at any of the schools, he said. A search of the store also turned up nothing suspicious.
