Pueblo Police investigating after bogus bomb threat at Pueblo elementary school

UPDATE 5:22 p.m.: Pueblo Police tell KRDO the bomb threat at Goodnight Elementary School was faked, and investigators have multiple persons of interest in the case.

Around 8:20 a.m. Thursday morning, Goodnight Elementary received a suspicious voicemail. According to Pueblo Police, the caller spoke in 'computerized voice', and said there were bombs in the drainage pipes of the school.

Around 9 a.m., Pueblo School District 60 began evacuating around 350 students and and all of the staff from Goodnight Elementary and bussing them all to the Colorado State Fairgrounds. Parents were notified of the emergency by D60, and were directed to pick up their students from the fairground's event center.

Not long after, Pueblo Metro Bomb Squad surveyed the school, and did not find a single explosive device.

Pueblo Police say there are multiple persons of interest connected to the bogus bomb threat, and they believe these individuals live in the Pueblo area. Also, police believe these persons of interest could be connected to other recent bomb threats in Pueblo community.

No arrests have been made thus far, however, Pueblo Police made it clear to KRDO early Thursday afternoon that investigators are gathering evidence and building a case.
