Update: 'All Clear' Given at East Hampton Elementary School After Bomb Threat

Update, 11:50 a.m.: A search of the John M. Marshall Elementary School found nothing suspicious following a bomb threat that was phoned into the school on Wednesday morning. Students and staff  have been allowed to reenter. 

"We feel comfortable at this time," Chief Gerard Larsen said. The phone number the threat was made from was traced  to an Internet phone in Chincoteague Island, Va. The same number appears to have made the same call to a school in Portland, Me., he said. The threat was a recorded message and did not identify either school specifically, using only the phrase "your school." The threat had been phoned in to the main line at John Marsahll at 10:59 a.m. "It looks like it may have been a hoax," the chief said.

Police in Virginia have been contacted. 

The school sent an additional email to parents at 11:42 a.m. informing them that class was resuming after police had given the all clear. 

Originally, 11:32 a.m.: The John M. Marshall Elementary School in East Hampton Village has been evacuated after the school received a bomb threat on Wednesday morning. 

East Hampton Village Police Chief Gerard Larsen said the school received a recorded message that did not specifically identify the school by name just after 11 a.m. The students were taken out of the school, and village police are conducting a search of the school building with the help of the East Hampton Fire Department. 

"There's no reason to think there is a bomb inside," the chief said. 

The school sent an email to parents in English and Spanish notifying them of the phone threat. "The building has been evacuated. All children are safe. We are waiting for the police to give us the all clear to enter the building," the email said.
