'Several dozen' fake bomb threats made at schools across Indiana
Indiana State Police are investigating dozens of hoax bomb threats against schools across the state, just days after schools in nearly two dozen cities in Illinois also received false threats.
However, no suspicious or explosive devices have been found in any of the schools, and Indiana State Police are continuing to work with federal, county, and local law enforcement officials to investigate the origin of the threats. "The safety of our children will always be a top priority, the Indiana State Police will continue to offer any and all resources we have to schools to ensure safety for our students," Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said.
"The Cedar Lake Police Department has no evidence this threat involved any specific Hanover School or any substantiated validation of this threat. The safety of our community and schools is our top priority and our response to this threat was immediate," Cedar Lake Police Deputy Chief Carl Brittingham said in a news release., including at Whitney Young High School in Chicago.
