Springfield, Ohio, has been forced to evacuate schools and municipal buildings for a second day due to bomb threats sent via email. This follows ongoing national attention on the city stemming from false claims about its Haitian population.
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Bomb threats on Friday forced the evacuation and closure of public schools and municipal buildings for a second consecutive day, as the city continues to deal with sudden national attention due to false claims involving its Haitian population. Students at Perrin Woods and Snowhill Elementary Schools in Springfield “were evacuated from their buildings to an alternate district location,” school district spokesperson Jenna Leinasars said.
Authorities, with the support of explosive detection canines, have conducted thorough inspections and cleared the facilities listed in the threats,” Graves said in a statement. Local police and FBI agents based in Dayton are working “to determine the origin of these email threats,” the city official said. The city just west of Columbus has been the focal point of a national political firestorm that has included false rumors that Haitian immigrants have been stealing and eating household pets.
