Learn how police came to find out about a bomb threat in a high school bathroom.
Basha High-school in Chandler Arizona was put in an uproar today when a bomb threat was found in one of the restrooms. The note said that an explosive would be set off in the school at 1:25 tomorrow. Officers have searched the school for any explosives and come up empty handed so far. Teachers have attempted to keep students calm saying that they are fairly sure that there is no bomb on the campus, and that they should feel safe coming to school tomorrow. Some however are skeptical, and many children have convinced their parents to let them stay home, whether that is because they are legitimately worried, or just want to get out of school, the excuse is extreme. There have been no mentions to any possibility of canceling school, and as of now, students that aren’t ditching will be attending school as regular. The culprit of this nerve-racking threat is unknown, and we are yet to see whether they were serious or if this was just to give Basha a good scare. That is all that’s been released so far, I’ll be back to tell you whether a bombing really occurred tomorrow afternoon.
-EDIT-
I have heard from a semi-reliable source that authorities have discovered five unlit pipe bombs. For those of you who don’t know, pipe bombs are homemade explosives crafted from galvanized steel pipes, filled with explosives, and detonated by lighting a candle wick protruding from one end. They work much like fragmentation grenades in that the explosion is not what causes the damage. When the bomb is set off, the explosives send pieces of the pipe flying in all directions that may harm anything, or anybody in the same room as it, but will not effect anything outside those walls. Had they been set off, they may have caused a few deaths, but mostly just injuries from the shrapnel, as well as damage to any objects in the room that are soft enough to be penetrated by the flying shards if steel.
Im a student at basha, and I must say, this is a big deal, but probably just another moron who thinks it would be fun to get a good laugh out of this. Im at school RIGHT now, and all thats being done is jokes are being made about it, but over half my classes were almost empty, so they shouldve just cancelled school for this week and pick things back up next monday, if you ask me.
Ya, my sister goes to Basha, and I heard about this from her and decided to write an article about it. My parents wanted her to go to school, but she purposely missed the bus so that she wouldn’t have to go. Honestly, I think the big issue with canceling school is that they have to add those days back on at the end of the year. Also, that sort of screws up teachers lesson plans for those days. If they believed that the treat was really that urgent, the story may have been different, but there was nothing but a note and no bomb was found, so it really wasn’t worth the trouble for administration.
I was at school when this was all going to happen. We waited has nothing did happen. It was just somebody that was trying to get a laugh out of this.
RETURN BACK TO SCHOOL BASHA BEARS!
It’s funny how stupid kids are these days! Probably another idiot trying to get out of school. It’s not going to be funny anymore when this kid is sentenced 25 years- life in prison!! After 9/11 bomb threats like these are recognized as terrorist attacks and can get you in serious trouble! Funny how a simple joke can turn you in for life in prison
nothing happened but 100s ditched, swag

I’m a studen’t at basha high as well and I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of a bomb threat. As far as we’ve heard, theres been no pipe bomb or anything of the sort found, so the source could have just heard a rumor. I just thought it was some kid who thought it’d be funny to create a false bomb threat and spread it around the school. Too bad kids these days believe anything their friends tell them.
