| Just after 9:00 a.m. on March 6th, a graffiti-type threat was once again discovered on the wall of a bathroom in the A building of Fox Lane High School. Following the prompt notification of the issue to school officials, the students, as well as the entire Fox Lane Campus, were evacuated to the football field.
Emergency officials were requested to respond in the same manner as the previous threat, bringing Bedford and New York State Police to the scene with K-9 units; Bedford Fire Department members responded with Engine 109 and Ambulance 52-B1, and were backed up by an engine from Bedford Hills Fire Department.
Buses returning from their morning elementary school runs were rerouted to the school, and all students staged on buses lining the driveway and South Bedford Road for some time as the buildings were searched. During this time, Bedford Fire Department members responded to two EMS type calls on the buses. Both were transported to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco for evaluation.
At the conclusion of nearly two hours of searching the property no threat was found, and students were shuttled by bus to the entrances to resume their daily activities.
For the duration of the evacuation, South Bedford Road was closed at Baldwin and Succabone Roads to allow space for school buses to park. |
