LAND O' LAKES, Fla. — The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said nothing was found after a Land O' Lakes middle school was evacuated on Wednesday morning over an online threat.
Authorities said Rushe Middle School was evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
The threat was posted over the weekend in a thread online from last school year and reported today, the sheriff's office said. It was a "hoax bomb threat," according to a press release.
Authorities thoroughly searched the school and said nothing was found. Classes have since resumed as normal.
"This instance impresses the importance of reporting threats or suspicious incidents in a timely fashion," the sheriff's office said. "If you see a threat, call law enforcement as soon as possible."
