(ST. JOHN, Ind.) A bomb threat has prompted the closure of three schools Tuesday in northwest Indiana.
Late Monday night, the Schererville and St. John police departments received threatening phone calls mentioning Homan Elementary in Schererville and Kolling Elementary and Clark Middle School in St. John, according to a statement from Lake Central School Superintendent Larry Veracco.
The caller specifically said that “bombs would result in injuries to many people in these buildings,” according to the statement.
All three schools are closed Tuesday for inspections by law enforcement.
Veracco said that there is not believed to be a threat to the school corporation’s seven other buildings.
