Another bomb threat was reported, this time at the Francisco M. Sablan Middle School in San Antonio and, after a thorough sweep of the school, a 13-year-old was taken in for allegedly making the threat.<\/p>\n

The Department of Public Safety responded to the threat at FMS late yesterday morning. The call at around 11:53am was initially about a disturbance, but after police got to the scene, they learned that a student had threated to blow up the campus, according to DPS spokesperson Fred Sato.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report was that there was a student who claimed he found fireworks inside one of the school\u2019s restrooms and brought it to a teacher and informed him about where he found it. Then the student threatened the teacher and told him that if he [were] to report him, he would blow up the campus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

First responders were immediately dispatched to the scene, Sato said, and even sought assistance from the Commonwealth Ports Authority\u2019s K9 Unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first step was to get the students out of the classrooms, getting them away from the school, [and] securing the buildings. We notified CPA Ports Police K9 unit that we needed assistance from their K9s that can detect explosives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The all-clear was given at around 1pm, Sato said, and students were allowed to return to their classes, and the student who made the bomb threat\u2014the 13-year-old boy\u2014was taken to DPS for further investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe completed a thorough search of every classroom and building, and we got an all-clear. We got an all-clear at around 1pm so students resumed classes. The 13-year-old male student has been taken in. He was taken to our investigations Unit, the parents [were] notified, and from there the investigation will continue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sato also noted that the student who made the bomb threat yesterday is a different one from a previous FMS student who made terror threats.<\/p>\n

Two boys were arrested last September for threatening to shoot up FMS.<\/p>\n

In that incident, the Superior Court imposed a $25,000 cash bail on each of the two teens who were arrested for their alleged involvement in the online threats of a school shooting at FMS. The suspects were two 16-year-old males who have since been tried as juveniles.<\/p>\n

According to a press release from DPS, the two boys were each charged with making a terroristic threat and conspiracy.<\/p>\n

CNMI Superior Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan, who signed the arrest warrant, imposed a $25,000 bail on each suspect.<\/p>\n
