Another Boston-area school closes following bomb threat

Milford High School is closed Thursday after receiving a bomb threat, WHDH reports.

The threat comes on the heels of Tuesday’s closures of other Boston-area schools.

Bomb threats were made against Arlington High School, Groton Middle School and the Florence Roche School on Tuesday morning. Some of the schools were evacuated.

Additionally “bomb threats were made against more than two dozen schools in New Jersey on Tuesday, and also against schools in Massachusetts, Delaware and Iowa, forcing evacuations and lockdowns that affected thousands of students,” Reuters reported.

All of the threats were reportedly delivered with a robotic voice and were traced back to Bakersfield, California.

There is no word yet on the details of today’s threat against Milford and whether it’s connected to Tuesday’s threats.
