Police storm Indiana school after threat to shoot students

A male called the Terre Haute Police Department about 10:30 a.m. and said he was in a bathroom at Terre Haute North High School armed with a rifle and a bag of explosives, Police Chief John Plasse said hours after authorities determined the threats were a hoax.

After no bombs or weapons were found inside the school, the student body was released just before 3 p.m. to nervous parents who had gathered outside, while other students were taken home by school bus.

Police spokesman Officer Ryan Adamson said he wasn't at the school as officers arrived following the threats and doesn't know how many officers had their weapons drawn as they entered the school building.
