Elementary School Bomb Threat Monday in Stafford

STAFFORD, VA — Ferry Farm Elementary was back to normal operations Monday afternoon after an earlier bomb scare.

Stafford County Sheriff’s Office cleared the scene after 1 p.m.

The first alert went out nearly an hour earlier that deputies were, “exercising an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of students/staff,” according to a message on Twitter.

A threat at a Gainesville elementary school has also led Prince William County Schools to evacuate the building and bus students to a nearby middle school.
