HEB ISD alternative school threat

What we know:

Euless police said they learned about a bomb threat at HEB ISD’s District Alternative Education Program campus around 10 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Police and administrators followed protocol by evacuating the DAEP campus, as well as the KEYS Learning Center which shares the same campus and Central Junior High School which is on the same property.

About 1,200 students were bused to the Pat May Center about a mile away. That's where parents waited in a long line to pick up their children.

Everyone else was asked to avoid the area.

What they're saying:

Parents said they were thankful for the procedural way to get the students off campus, even though it appears to have been a false alarm.

"Any inkling that they have, there is no overreacting when it comes to our children. They did what they should have done. Thankful everyone is okay as well," Angie Benson, a parent.

Ninth grader Eli Fabila said his class was taking test when the teacher suddenly asked everyone to pack up because something was going on. He said some students tried to run out of the door.

"Like six to eight buses started coming and they dropped us off here," he said.

"You are not expecting that, you know. Your nephew went to school and they are calling you for news you are not expecting. We thank God all the kids are fine," said Cynthia Fabila, his aunt.

What we don't know:

So far, investigators have not said who made the threat or where it came from.

It's not clear if anything was found on the campus.
