Dare County Sheriff Doug Doughtie said extensive searches at all three First Flight schools in Kill Devil Hills turned up no evidence of explosives after a bomb threat was posted late last night in the comments on an OBXToday.com story.
First Flight high school, middle school and elementary school were all closed this morning after the threat was reported to authorities. The comment was posted on a story about a Monday lockdown at the schools due to a shooting threat on Snapchat.
” …i also placed 2 bombs in the school and no one knows. will detonate soon. thhe whool school blow up!!111111 we all die11,” the comment read.
Doughtie said the Dare County Sheriff’s Office K9, along with two K9s from Currituck County, searched all three schools this morning and all was clear.
“Thank you for your patience during this incident. The safety of our schools is our top priority,” school officials said in an email to parents.
OBXToday.com is cooperating fully with the police investigation.
