According
to Vic Donalson, Principal of Poca High School, a message, written in lipstick,
was found in the girls bathroom. The message said there was going to be a
bombing.
The
school was placed on lockdown and students were moved to the gym and the Putnam
County Sheriff's Dept. was contacted. The sheriff's dept. then contacted
the Kanawha County Sheriff's Dept. to bring a bomb sniffing K-9 unit.
The
search lasted for about an hour and a half but no bomb was ever found.
Principal
Donalson said all procedures were followed and there are person of interest in
the case and the school would contact parents to let them know everyone was
safe.
If
the student or students responsible are located, they face a felony charge and
expulsion from school.
