Bomb Threat at Wesley Upper Sends Schools in High Alert Mode

The compounds of Queen Square Primary and Wesley Upper schools were cleared this morning following reports of a bomb threat at Wesley Upper School. Both grounds are located across from each other on Dolphin Street. Law enforcement officers responded swiftly to the report and within thirty minutes the all-clear was given. By that time, the school had already alerted parents and guardians of the situation. They were asked to pick up their children from school. Here is what we heard from a few parents who visited the schools to get their children.

“I was home and then one of the neighbors came and I heard someone outside shouting my name and the neighbor said. Yow there is a bomb threat at school, go for your brother. So I just jump up and I come and check what happened and when I reach here I saw it is all clear and it was not serious. So it is something good to hear.”

“Honestly, I didn’t take it seriously because from I was going to primary school I believe it is just something to get a day off. I didn’t take it serious, but I just came to be on the safe side nuh.”
