Lincoln High School in Manitowoc (PC: Fox 11 Online)
MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A Manitowoc high school student and a person in Canada were arrested in connection with a bomb threat against Lincoln High School.
Police say a voice mail was left for staff members just after midnight, with the caller saying he would bring a bomb to school. The call came from a cellphone number in Canada.
Manitowoc detectives and school resource officers identified a suspect in Winnipeg, Canada. Working with the FBI, Interpol and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Winnipeg police arrested the suspect there.
At the same time, students in Manitowoc shared their concerns with police about a classmate who may have been involved. Police determined the Lincoln student and the Winnipeg caller had been communicating over a video gaming system. The student was arrested, with police recommending a felony charge of making terroristic threats.
Because of concerns about student safety, Lincoln High School was dismissed an hour early on Wednesday.
