Multiple schools and institutions around Montana reported receiving bomb threats on Thursday, spurring evacuations and closures.
Alberton School, Browning Public Schools and Boulder Elementary School sent out alerts Thursday about threats made to their facilities, and law enforcement responded to threats to synagogues in Missoula and Butte, as well as three bomb threats in the Billings area. Some of the threats were paired with messages demanding monetary payments, according to the Missoula Police Department. The FBI said they haven't received information that the threats are credible.
A statement from FBI's Salt Lake City Office said they were aware of several bomb threats made to schools in Montana.
"The FBI takes these threats very seriously," the statement read. "While we have no information to indicate a credible or specific threat, we are working with our local and state law enforcement partners as needed. We urge the public to remain vigilant, and report any and all suspicious activity and/or individuals to law enforcement immediately."
