The Terre Haute police chief says a caller made threats against a high school claimed he had explosives and would start shooting students if he didn’t receive a ransom.
Terre Haute Police Chief John Plasse says a male called the police department Friday morning saying he was in a bathroom at Terre Haute North High School with a firearm and a bag of explosives.
The caller said he’d start shooting students if he didn’t receive a ransom within 10 minutes, or if students left the building. Plasse says the caller made other threats when he was transferred to police dispatch.
No bombs or weapons were found inside. Plasse asked for the public’s help finding the caller, who he says “put a lot of people in fear today.” (story from AP)
