Student Confesses To False Bomb Threat At Yellow Medicine East High School

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A bomb threat at Yellow Medicine East High School in southwestern Minnesota was discredited Wednesday evening after a person of interest in the investigation confessed.

The Granite Falls Police Department was notified of the bomb threat around 7 p.m.

According to a press release, a school custodian had found the threat written on a bathroom wall.

When police reviewed surveillance video from the area they were able to identify a person of interest.

Then when they spoke to that person, the person confessed, and law enforcement confirmed that there was no real threat.

Because the suspect is a minor, their identity will not be released.
