SA Officials Investigating Bomb Threat
BY NATALIE NEYSA ALUND, Daily News Staff Writer November 30, 2001
South Allegheny School District is investigating a bomb threat. Assistant Principal Wayne Gdovic discovered the threat, in the form of a written note, yesterday afternoon.
"This is an interruption in the education system, and we take this very seriously," Patrick Risha, SA Superintendent, said this morning.
No one was hurt in yesterday's incident, according to authorities.
Risha said the note was found at 12:40 p.m. in a hallway by the high school auditorium.
"The note was folded and read 'Open Me,'" Risha explained.
The superintendent said Gdovic opened the note, which warned a bomb would go off at 12:30 p.m.
"It was already 12:40 p.m. when the note was opened," Risha pointed out.
Nonetheless, Risha said the school still went through its bomb-threat procedure and evacuated the building.
"We had the fire department and police sweep the building," he said, noting that the procedure "took about 35-40 minutes."
Thus far, there is no suspect in the threat.
"Right now we don't have any solid leads, but we're checking it out," the superintendent said.
According to Risha, it could take some time to view all 38 video surveillance cameras in the building.
"We are going through the footage to see who may be involved," he said.
It could take two to three days before a lead is found, he added.
South Allegheny Police Lt. Kris Kircher is heading up the investigation.
Kircher could not be reached for comment before presstime.
"We have a procedure in place for any type of situation like that and have put it into action," Risha said.
"The safety of the kids is number one," he said. "We take every threat seriously ... nothing is taken lightly."
Yesterday's incident marked the first bomb threat South Allegheny High School has had, Risha said.
