A series of bomb threats disrupted the start of the school day on Wednesday morning in Boerne, affecting Boerne High School, Comfort High School, Steele High School, and the main phone line for Uvalde Independent School District. The threats prompted swift responses from local law enforcement and school administrators, ensuring the safety of students, staff, and faculty.
Authorities quickly coordinated with each affected school to assess the credibility of the threats, secure campus grounds, and implement precautionary measures. While no explosive devices were reported, police maintained a visible presence around the campuses, and access points were restricted to monitor and protect students and staff. Classes at the impacted schools were disrupted, and administrators worked to keep parents informed of the situation.
The threats, which arrived via phone lines to the schools and the district, are being treated seriously, and law enforcement agencies are investigating the source. Officials urged the public to remain calm, emphasizing that the safety of students is the top priority. School staff guided students to safe locations within the buildings, and emergency protocols were enacted to ensure preparedness in the event of an actual threat.
Parents and guardians were asked to follow official updates from the schools and law enforcement, avoiding the spread of unverified information that could cause unnecessary panic. Investigators are reviewing phone records, security footage, and any potential digital evidence to identify the individual or group responsible for the threats.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and communication in school safety procedures. Authorities have stressed that students, staff, and community members should report any suspicious activity immediately and continue cooperating with officials as the investigation continues.
Further updates are expected once law enforcement concludes their investigation and ensures that all affected campuses are secure.
