SAN DIEGO, CA: A bogus bomb threat prompted a several-hour lockdown and a multi-agency search at Point Loma High School Wednesday morning.

A counselor at the Chatsworth Boulevard campus received the menacing massage via email about 8:15 a.m., according to San Diego Unified School District officials.

Teachers kept all students secured in their classrooms while school police conducted a sweep of the grounds and building, aided by San Diego city and harbor police and personnel with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
