ISP investigating widespread threats against Indiana schools

(Statewide) – Indiana State Police was alerted early this morning about an email sent to several dozen schools across the state threatening the use of explosive devices allegedly planted on various school campuses.

Investigators immediately started looking into the threat, including communication with the Department of Education, plus local, county, and federal law enforcement agencies.

State Police say there have been no suspicious or explosives found in any schools.

The investigation into the origin of the threat is ongoing.

As a precaution, troopers throughout the state have been in communication with their local schools to offer assistance and resources.

School corporations are working with their local law enforcement to make the best decision about their operations today.

“The safety of our children will always be a top priority,” said Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter. “The Indiana State Police will continue to offer any and all resources we have to schools to ensure safety for our students.”
