Half Moon Bay High evacuated after bomb threat; Campus being swept
HALF MOON BAY -- The Half Moon Bay High School campus was evacuated Tuesday morning after a bomb threat was called in, according to authorities.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office confirmed to KPIX that there were rumors of a potential bomb threat at the school over the past few days.
While a school resource officer was working with Half Moon Bay High officials to investigate and found the rumor was not credible, at 9:30 a.m. the school received a bomb threat over the phone, the sheriff's office said.
Out of an abundance of caution, Half Moon Bay High students and staff are being safely evacuated so authorities can conduct a bomb sweep. Parents and guardians are being asked not to come to the school unless notified.
