At approximately 12:57 p.m. on Tuesday, an unknown person made a 911 call to the Emergency Operations Center in Sussex County stating there was a bomb in Sussex Tech High School.
State Troopers and bomb sniffing K-9s from various police agencies were dispatched to the school assist with traffic control as well as search the grounds for any suspicious packages or objects. Students and faculty were immediately evacuated from the school during the search.
At approximately 2:12 p.m., another call was received through 911 from the same caller who now stated there was a bomb in Laurel High School and one would be at Seaford High School. Police units, again with the aid of the K9s, converged on the two schools looking for anything suspicious.
Nothing was found at any of the schools which took approximately two hours each to complete. Police have not reported any arrests.
