Milford High Bomb Threat 'Not Credible'

An early Thursday morning bomb threat now appears to be a hoax.

Around 5:30 a.m., the Milford Public Schools received a bomb threat for Milford High School by email. The email prompted school officials to shut down the high school, along with Shining Star Early Childhood Center and the central administration office, which are both located on the high school campus.

Superintendent Robert Tremblay told the Milford Daily News that the threat was not credible.

No suspicious items were found during a walkthrough of the building.

Since Friday, several schools in Massachusetts have been hit with bomb threats. Tremblay said he is unsure if the Milford threat is connected.

The incident is being investigated by police.
