Bomb scare at Jim Thorpe High School

Jim Thorpe Area High School is back to normal again after a bomb threat this afternoon.

Students and staff had been evacuated from the building.

Jim Thorpe Police and a fire truck were dispatched to the school campus around 12:30 p.m.

Superintendent Brian Gasper said that a suspicious message was found in the school, leading district officials to initiate their crisis response.

Lehigh Carbon Community College, which has a campus adjacent to the school, has canceled classes as a result of the threat.

The college sent out a tweet around 12:45 p.m. saying that all classes at their Jim Thorpe campus had been canceled until further notice.
