A college and a high school about a mile apart from each other in Walnut were evacuated Thursday after bomb threats were received at both campuses.
The threats were received about 10:20 a.m. at Mount San Antonio College, 1100 B. Grand Ave., and at Walnut High School, 400 N. Pierre Road, according to Deputy Guillermina Saldana of the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau. An online notice from Mount San Antonio College asked students and staff to “calmly leave campus.”
Students were released from Walnut High School at about 1:20 p.m..
By mid-afternoon, a search of Mount San Antonio College had turned up no signs of a threat, and college officials said it was safe for people to return. Classes resumed at 4:30 p.m.
