A wave of bomb threats swept through Fullerton, California, on Thursday, prompting lockdowns at four schools in the area. The threats, received via phone calls, led police to launch a thorough investigation, deploying multiple law-enforcement resources, including explosives-detection canine teams. Sunny Hills High School, Fullerton Union High School, Troy High School, and Fern Drive Elementary School were all affected by the threats, with police securing the campuses and beginning searches. After a comprehensive search, Fullerton Police Department announced that no explosive devices were found at any of the locations. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the credibility of the threats. The first threat was reported at 1:25 p.m. at Troy High School, followed by subsequent calls to the other schools. Police coordinated with school officials to initiate safety protocols and conduct a thorough search of the campuses. The lockdowns were lifted after the all-clear was given, and students were allowed to return to their classes. The Fullerton Police Department encourages anyone with information about the threats to come forward and assist with the investigation.
