HAVERHILL, Mass. — Haverhill High School received a bomb threat Wednesday morning.
The investigation is ongoing. Haverhill Public Schools started classes August 30.
In the winter and spring, local schools were bombarded with a rash of computer-generated bomb threats. One day this past April, schools in more than a dozen cities and town received bomb threats, triggering evacuations, searches by the bomb squad and the assignment of extra police officers. Just three days later, 32 schools received bomb threats, prompting a similar response.
The problem with computer generated threats are that they are especially difficult to track.
