October Security Threats Trigger Evacuations in Philadelphia Schools

For the second time in October this year, security threats at multiple Philadelphia schools triggered lockdowns and evacuations. The first security threat was made on October 6th: five schools were contacted by an anonymous message. The schools affected were Baldi Middle School, Masterman School, Spruance School, Hill-Freedman World Academy, and Rhodes School. Ten days later, three schools were targeted again with more threatening calls. The schools involved were Benjamin Franklin High School, the School of the Future, and Julia R. Masterman School.
