TIVERTON — School officials evacuated Tiverton High School yesterday after receiving a bomb threat.

A caller dialed the main office yesterday at about 11:30 a.m., saying that a bomb would detonate in the building at noon, the School Department said in a news release. Students were immediately evacuated to the football field, and the police and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the high school.

Police Chief Thomas Blakey said the police found no evidence of a bomb.

Students were released from school at 12:40 p.m., and all after-school activities were canceled. The building was declared safe at 3 p.m., the school district said.

1. WTF is going on with bomb threats and public schools these days?

Last week it was northern New Jersey. This morning it's Connecticut and Rhode Island.

2. Tiverton, RI?

All seven students had to evacuate? LOL!

Okay, sorry, cheap shot. But Tiverton is a pretty small place. Very beautiful, quaint picture-postcard New England shore town. I just pictured the terrorists sneaking in to do some antiquing and browse a few art galleries before planting their bomb.
