Bomb Threat at Park a Hoax
The second bomb threat for Park University in little more than a year proved to be a hoax as Parkville Police and the Kansas City bomb squad gave the all clear Thursday night in Parkville.
Police cordoned off the school entrance at around 6 p.m. while bomb sniffing dogs searched the premises.
The hoax comes on the heels of the Virginia Tech massacre and a rash of copycat threats. As of Friday, the FBI counted 35 to 40 mostly school-based threats, with everything from bombs to guns to mere words, some leading to arrests.
