Bristol School Cleared Over Bomb Threat

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — A Bristol Township middle school was cleared and after-school activities canceled Monday after a bomb threat was discovered there.

Officials at Armstrong Middle School, at 475 Wistar Rd. in Fairless Hills, said the bomb threat was discovered at about 2:20 p.m. in a bathroom stall. Students were immediately evacuated from the building and police were contacted, officials said.

Because the school day at Armstrong ends at 2:45 p.m., students were dismissed directly to their buses from the evacuation site.

Officials said that the status of the police investigation would be shared with families later Monday.

Schools in the Bristol Township district have been interrupted by bomb threats multiple times in recent months. In January, activities were shut down at Bristol High School over a bomb threat.

And, in December, a bomb threat was phoned in to Truman High School.
