SUFFOLK, Va. — There are no threats present at John F. Kennedy Middle School following a bomb threat that led to a school evacuation Tuesday morning.
A call was made to the school just before 9 a.m., prompting the evacuation and investigation by Suffolk police and fire & rescue. Around 11:30 a.m., they gave the all clear.
News 3's Kelsey Jones was at the scene where she spoke with two 6th grade students.
"We had to go on the bus, people were screaming, yelling and crying" said one student.
Students were brought via school bus to nearby Booker T. Washington Elementary while authorities investigated the threat.
Meanwhile, parents lined up waiting to pick up their children after learning about the bomb threat from social media.
One parent was angry after he says school leaders never contacted him; he found out about the incident through Facebook.
"We've yet to receive any communication. No email, no phone call, nothing" the parent added.
Police did confirm that were no injuries, and students and staff were quickly evacuated. This remains an active investigation.
Police say due to impending severe weather and a school system-wide early release, students won't be returning to the school today.
Dismissal will take place at Booker T. Washington Elementary School.
