School evacuated over bomb threat written on bathroom wall

HALL COUNTY, Ga. — A student was arrested over a bomb threat that caused a Hall County middle school to evacuate Wednesday.

Deputies say all students at North Hall Middle School were evacuated around 2:30 p.m. to the high school football stadium.

The school district says the threat was found written on a bathroom wall.

Officers swept the campus and found no devices.

Since the school was still evacuated when they were scheduled to dismiss at 3:30 p.m., the kids are being sent home from the high school.

"The Hall County School District takes reports of potential harm directed toward our students very seriously and those responsible for creating disruptions to our schools will be held accountable for their actions," a school spokesman told Channel 2 Action News.

This threat and arrest came hours after an active shooter threat evacuated a high school in Jackson County. The juvenile who called in that threat was taken into custody.
