Nationwide School Threat Hoax Sparks FBI Investigation and Increased Security Measures

Multiple school districts and schools nationwide, including those in the Sebring and Newton Falls districts, received email bomb threats claiming to be from foreign terrorist groups. Authorities believe these threats are part of a nationwide hoax or swatting campaign, with no credible threat detected. Law enforcement has been made aware of the threats, and schools have conducted safety checks and deemed their buildings safe. Classes will be in session with additional safety measures implemented, but parents have the option to keep their children home. The FBI and Ohio Attorney General's office are assessing the severity of the threats.
