Halifax what's going on????

Seems today in the HAlifax area,..there has been several schools evacuated,.from some sort of threat,.......the news I just heard mentioned about 3 separate schools recieving some sort of threat,.........???
I wonder what's going on,...........just mischievous kids most likely ,.but that usually only happens with maybe one school (possibly two)   Remember the old 'bomb scares' when we were kids in school,.it always alloed for a day off from school,.......... Yikes .........this Halifax threat has 1000's of students ,kept out of school .....

What I heard on the news is a student in one of the schools found a note in a washroom that said a bomb was in the school. In one of the other schools it is believed someone had a gun and I don't know about the third school but the police and school authorities are no taking any chances.

My son is not in school today in Pickering, becasue of threatening grafitti on the bathroom wall. The school says they have not found any evidence that the threat is legitimate, but there will be a strong police prescence at the school today. I would rather not take the chance of finding out that it is a real threat, so he has a day off - as do many other students. It's frightening.   Maggie

Same thing happened here in Edmonton.  A school was evacuated and no classes next day due to a threat discovered.  Small pranks in our day, now the pranks are getting bigger and more serious and cannot be taken likely.

...in my rush I meant lightly not likely.   It's the rain here.....

I know of a young lady that spent a couple of years at "reform school" for calling in a bomb threat in the early seventies. Not such a small prank then (at least not when they got caught)

Hello MaggieMck,..........   wonder if the kids have some sort of deal going like a 'my space ' or texting across the country to do a Canada Wide type of Day Off from school...........hahahahah  They do have quite an information connection going on,.that us Parents or GrandParents aren't supposed to know about???
