Oak Ridge High School and the Oak Ridge 9th Grade campus in Conroe ISD were evacuated on Tuesday because of a called-in bomb threat.
Everyone was removed from the buildings while police with a K9 searched. No explosives were found and the all-clear was given later that afternoon.
During their investigation, police determined that the bomb threat call came from out of state and they’re asking anyone who knows anything about the threat to call Conroe ISD police at 936-709-8911.
