Bomb Threat Evacuates East Burke High School
Icard- A note found in a bathroom that said there was a bomb inside East Burke High School forced the school to be
evacuated Thursday. Principal Rexanna Lowman said in a telephone message that a hand written note was found in
a boy's bathroom saying that there was a bomb inside the school and could go off at any time. The school was
evacuated after the note was found at around 11:30 a.m. Students were moved back into the gym after the school
was searched and that is when detectives interviewed students. Police say that they had a suspect a short time
later. The News Herald reports that police tracked down the suspect to his grandmother's residence because he had
already left the school. The Burke County Sheriff's Office will be seeking a juvenile petition against the student on
Friday, according to Sheriff John McDevitt. Juvenile services will be deciding whether the student will be arrested or
will have to appear in court to answer the charges.
