Threats Prompt School Responses in Atlanta, Dearborn

Atlanta Public Schools evacuated Morningside, E. Rivers and Springdale Park elementary schools Monday after threats prompted police searches; E. Rivers and Morningside were later cleared, while the search at Springdale Park was still underway around 11 a.m. All students and staff were reported safe, and nearby Virginia-Highland Elementary placed its campus on an exterior lockdown as a precaution. In Dearborn, automated robocall bomb threats led to evacuations at multiple schools, but police and federal authorities found no credible risk; the district said it was working with the FBI to identify the callers. Separately, Marist School in Brookhaven went into lockdown Wednesday after a threatening phone call, and police swept the campus; no threat had been reported there at the time.
