MIDWAY through the day, a little after 9:01 AM students of Northglenn High-School were pulled out due to a bomb threat against the school, the culprit? A calculator.
It was an ordinary day for Elizabeth R. Fryberger when she, "Found a message on a calculator in math class that said, 'I'm going to blow up the school there's a bomb in the library." After discovering this unsettling message it was relayed to her teacher who immediately called the school's principle Dr. Lindimore. Dr. Lindimore instructed her to "wait at the flagpole," afterwards the police action began to ensue.
At the same time our Site Editor Trenton L. Brown was updating this site during his fourth hour with the Zant Coloring Contest that you will see below this post only a little while before it began. On the matter he recalled, "Dr. Lindimore, Mr. James and a young decorated officer entered the library and immediately began pulling the librarians aside. They then began rushing all of the students out of the library telling them to go to courtyard commons or the cafeteria. Minutes after arrival in the cafeteria, I was instructed to go to the courtyard commons instead, at which point the fire alarm went off." It is believed the fire drill was pulled in order to get all of the students out of the school, without causing panic by telling of the bomb threat. About ten police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance were seen at the scene. After spending the rest of the day cluelessly outside, unknowing of the possible danger and reasoning behind the police action, the students of Northglenn Highschool were told by an announcement that school would resume at the normal time the next day.
Some people are speculating that the incident was highly foolish since the bomb threat was most likely a highly distasteful joke. On the other hand parents and others have put forth the belief that it was an excellent example of the school taking the necessary precautions against what could have become an incident like that of Columbine Highschool. The threat has yet to be nullified, and it is uncertain whether there was indeed a bomb within the confines of the library.
