UPDATE: Police investigating bomb threats at several Delaware schools

For the second day, in a second week, schools in Delaware say they are receiving bomb threats.

Dover Police say William Henry Middle School received a call for a bomb threat, on Wednesday morning. Dover Police Department says they are on scene with Capital School District Staff and Administration at the Middle School on Carver Road. Students have apparently been evacuated to a nearby location, and are out of the cold weather as a precaution. Officers and school employees are reportedly searching the building, and its exterior.

Indian River School District confirmed that East Millsboro Elementary also received a call around 9:40 AM. Students were reportedly evacuated, while the building was searched. The school was given the all clear to return to daily activities, around 11:30 AM.

Delaware State Police say they are investigating the threat at East Millsboro, in Millsboro, and one made to Everett Meredith Middle School in Middletown. Both schools were reportedly evacuated, or told to lockdown, but have since been cleared. State and local police responded to search the buidlings, with K-9 units. The calls reportedly came in to the school offices around 10:00 AM on Wednesday, and were robo-calls apparently made via computer.
