‘No credible threat’ at North Dallas High School after reported bomb, police say
Police have determined there’s no credible threat at North Dallas High School after they investigated a report claiming there was a bomb in the area Tuesday morning, officials said.
More than 40 police units were dispatched to the Uptown school, located at 3120 N. Haskell Ave., shortly before 8 a.m., the Dallas Morning News first reported.
Dallas Independent School District spokesperson Savannah Hale described the incident as a “swatting prank.” Students weren’t in the building yet when officials learned about the potential threat.
“Police cleared the building. Students and staff went back inside,” Hale told the Star-Telegram in an email.
“Officers secured the campus and determined there was no credible threat,” the Dallas Police Department said in a statement. “The Dallas ISD Police Department will assume responsibility for the ongoing investigation.”
Tuesday was students’ first day back after winter break.
