Hundreds of Schools Evacuated After Bomb Threat Emails
Threatening emails reached schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday. Some Scottish schools were reportedly evacuated.
Scottish schools reportedly received bomb threats by email.
Police Scotland has not yet responded to requests for comment.
Hundreds of Northern Ireland schools received a threatening email, police said.
Northern Ireland police called their response urgent inquiries with affected schools.
Why it matters: Schools must decide quickly whether to evacuate before police can judge a threat's credibility. That leaves pupils, parents and staff dealing with disruption and uncertainty.
The Northern Ireland email resembles a threat police declared a hoax last month.
Education officials said they know of no evidence of a credible threat.
