Teens arrested in bomb threat hoax at Moosomin school

Two teenage girls were arrested in connection to a phony bomb threat that disrupted classes at a high school in Moosomin, Sask. RCMP say.

A nearby elementary school and a daycare were also affected.

"This matter is being taken very seriously," the local RCMP detachment said Friday in relation to the incident.

According to police, on Thursday at 12:10 p.m. CST, authorities were sent to McNaughton High School.

"A note was found by a student in the school saying there was a bomb that would go off in 24 hours," police said.

The school was cleared of staff and students, and locked down.

An RCMP explosives disposal unit and a sniffer dog were brought in to sweep the building.

"The nearby daycare and elementary schools were evacuated and neighbourhood residents adjacent to the school were notified of the threat as well," police said.

"Nothing was found in the sweep and the decision was made to keep the school closed past the 24 hour deadline," police added.

On Thursday night, RCMP said a tip came in that led them to arrest two 15-year-old girls, students at the high school.

"Police have confirmed that the note was a hoax and this matter is still under investigation," police said.

"This incident was considered real until such time as it was confirmed a hoax," RCMP said, noting that authorities spent a lot of time and money on the incident, although the total cost was not available.

"Not only was school temporarily suspended, fire department and police resources were deployed at a cost to the public and families and businesses were disrupted as parents responded to calls to collect the evacuated students," police said.

They added they are working with school division authorities on the issue.

Moosomin is about 212 kilometres east of Regina.

Woman pictured in Te'o hoax talks about perpetrator

Image
Two of the people linked to an expansive hoax involving Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o attended the same Antelope Valley high school, according to the Southern California woman whose photos were used in the ruse. Diane O'Meara, who now works in marketing at STN Media Group in Torrance, spoke to NBC's "Today"  about the incident in a segment that aired Tuesday. In the segment, she said she met the supposed hoaxer, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, in high school but added that the two were not friends. Paraclete High football coach Norm Dahlia confirmed to The Times that Tuiasosopo played quarterback for the Lancaster school in 2007. A Deadspin.com report published last week first revealed the hoax but did not name O'Meara. The report claims that Tuiasosopo used photos of a girl he met at Paraclete High School in Lancaster as part of a Twitter account for a "Lennay Kekua," a fake woman whom he connected with Te'o. "My name is not Lennay Kek...

Iran Denies Space Monkey Phony

Image
After Iran announced last week that it had launched a monkey into space, web sleuths compared before and after photos of the furry astronaut and cried hoax. They claimed the monkey that made public appearances after the space flight in a bespoke suit looked nothing like the animal that had been shot into space, which seemed to have lighter fur and a mole above its eye. Did a monkey die in flight, asked the conspiracy theorists? Or did no primate ever leave the ground? Now the Iranian space agency has stepped forward to clear up any confusion. According to space official Mohammad Ebrahimi, it's true that the pictures don't match, and that they show two different monkeys. But Ebrahimi said that's not because of a hoax – it's because the pre-flight photo of a light-furred monkey was actually an archival photo and not a picture of the actual animal, Pishgam, who rode the rocket. According to the Iranians, Pishgam took a 20-minute flight and returned to earth s...

College Place Police Call Walmart Bomb Threat a Phony

Image
COLLEGE PLACE, Wash. - College Place Police are investigating an apparent bomb threat hoax at Walmart over the weekend.   Saturday night, police say the College Place Walmart called 911, reporting a bomb threat the store received, set to go off at 6:19 on Sunday morning. Officers and the College Place Fire Department arrived on scene and evacuated the store just before 1 AM that night. Officers and firefighters stayed there overnight blocking the doors, and didn't allow customers or employees back in until 7 AM.   Police say 6:19 came and went, but nothing exploded, no one got hurt, and they couldn't find any sort of explosive device, leading officers to believe the incident was an apparent hoax. Police say they don't know who made the threat, and while they're looking into leads, they don't have any potential suspects yet. Walmart returned to business as usual after 7 am on Sunday.
