Several schools in Delaware faced disruptions Thursday following reports of bomb threats and a separate incident at Middletown High School, prompting swift action by law enforcement and school officials.
At Christiana High School, a bomb threat was reported to the Delaware State Police early this morning. Students were evacuated while law enforcement, including K-9 detection teams and the bomb squad, conducted a thorough investigation of the premises parents told FSU. After a full sweep, officials deemed the building safe, and students were allowed to return to class.
Brader Elementary School also faced a bomb threat earlier in the day. School officials implemented a “HOLD” protocol, ensuring that students and staff remained in their current locations while police and K-9 units investigated. The Delaware State Police later confirmed that the threat was not credible. Classes resumed as normal.
A statement issued by Brader Elementary officials emphasized their commitment to transparency and communication during safety-related incidents. “All threats to our school or students are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly,” the statement read. The school thanked the Delaware State Police for their swift response and assured families that the safety of students remains the highest priority.
In an unrelated incident, Middletown High School was the scene of what was described as an assault around 3:30 p.m. Two teenagers were injured and transported to area hospitals for treatment. One was taken to AI DuPont Hospital for Children, while the other was transported to Christiana Hospital. The extent of their injuries remains unknown.
