As many of you know there was a bomb threat at Presque Isle High School yesterday, November 1st.

A threatening note was found. After getting the students out of class and to a secure site it was determined there was no credible threat and the students were let back into school. NewsSource 8 did not report this bomb threat because even though it may be interesting it’s not in the best public interest to publicize the threat. We feel by putting it on the news, it may encourage copycat threats and the person who made the threat in the first place may just want the attention on television.

If the police said the threat was credible or confirmed by multiple sources, if an actual explosive device was found or if students were dismissed for an unusual amount of time we would have reported the incident. Also if the police arrest the person responsible for the threat we will report on that.

There are exceptions to every rule and each event is looked at extensively before we decide whether to include the information in a show or not.
