Scranton student charged with bomb threat

SCRANTON - A 13-year-old student has been charged with making terroristic threats after police say he made a bomb threat at South Scranton Intermediate School on Wednesday.

A note was found that the school would be "blowing up," and the school was evacuated. On Friday, the school resource officer received a tip implicating a 13-year-old boy. The boy's handwriting was compared with the note, and after additional investigation, he has been charged in juvenile court.

The boy is not identified because he is charged as a juvenile.

After many bomb threats in the region this month, Scranton police will use "all available resources" to pursue individuals involved, police said.

A 12-year-old student is also facing charges for leaving a bomb threat in a Riverside East Elementary School restroom earlier this week.
