Bomb Threat Closes Pittsburgh-Area High School

FOX CHAPEL, PA - Fox Chapel Area High School is closed Thursday because a bomb threat was received Wednesday night, district officials said.

Although the threat was ambiguous, O'Hara Township Police were called and performed a thorough search of the building that included two bomb-sniffing dogs. Following the search, district officials were told the building was clear.

"However, out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to cancel school, just at the high school, for today," a post on the Fox Chapel Area School District stated. " School will go on as
scheduled at the other district buildings today. "

When school resumes tomorrow at the high school, there will be a heightened security presence.
