Possible threat at Assumption Catholic Secondary School
Students have been evacuated from Assumption College Catholic High School after a suspected bomb threat was reported April 5.
The students were taken to Century Secondary School. Several parents of Assumption students who had arrived at the school to drop students off were unable to leave the parking lot because entrances and exits were blocked.
“They came and told us that there’s been a bomb threat,” said Fiona Doyle-Hunt, a mother who was dropping her daughter off at the school after fire trucks had arrived. “They found a note with a bomb threat on it. Now we’re stuck, we can’t get in or out or anything.”
Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board posted a message on their Facebook wall calling the incident “a threat.”
The rest of the post reads, “All students and staff are safe and have been moved to Century Secondary School as a precaution.”
Sgt. Pam Mizuno of Windsor Police Services confirmed “a threat” was the reason for the evacuation at Assumption.
More information to come as it is released.
