Shughart Schools complex cleared after bomb threat
FORT BRAGG, N.C. – The Shughart School complex in Fort Bragg’s Linden Oaks community has been cleared by law enforcement officials after a bomb threat was reported to school administrators around noon, Feb. 13. Students at both Shughart Elementary and Middle schools were evacuated from school grounds to near-by facilities and explosive ordnance teams cleared the buildings.

“Our school evacuation and emergency response procedures worked exactly as we have rehearsed and tested them,” said Tom McCollum, Fort Bragg spokesman.

All students and school administrators have been accounted for.

Families were notified by the Fort Bragg Schools administration and children released to parents and guardians shortly after 2 p.m.
