Bomb threat leads to evacuation at De Anza Junior High School

CALEXICO --- The entire student body, teachers and staff at De Anza Junior High School were evacuated today after authorities received a possibly fraudulent 911 call about two bombs at the campus, a Calexico Police sergeant said.

All the students were sent to the grassy area on the east side of the junior high school shortly after officials at the California Highway Patrol received the 2:07 p.m. call about the bomb threat, Calexico Police Sgt. Armando Marquez said.

It appeared that "more than likely" the threat was a hoax but police didn't want to take any chances as they waited for the students to be let out safely so authorities could then conduct their search around the campus, Marquez said. No injuries were reported.
