Student in custody following bomb threat at Mission High School
A student was taken into custody Wednesday after a bomb threat caused the evacuation of Mission High School, according to the Mission Police Department.
Police officers responded to the campus at around 10:49 a.m. Wednesday following a report of a possible bomb on campus. All students and staff were relocated to the Tom Landry Stadium as local, state and federal agencies assisted with the investigation.
A police spokesperson said officers did not locate a credible threat, and classes resumed after students returned to the campus shortly after 12:15 p.m.
“Mission police will remain on site and continue to thoroughly monitor the situation to ensure the safety of students, staff, and the community," a department spokesperson said. “Any individual found responsible for making a false bomb threat will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
