Calls to Harry S. Truman High School threatened to blow up the building Monday morning, police said.

A call first came into the Bristol Township high school at 8:15 a.m. and said six bombs were in the building. A second call stating students should evacuate because the bombs were set to explode was received at 8:30 a.m., the same time the bombs were reportedly set to explode, police Lt. Ralph Johnson said.

No bombs were located and police and district officials do not believe the threats were credible.

Johnson explained that the calls came from an automated service that reads messages via a computer. The calls came through the One Call Now app, which based in Dayton, Ohio.

In a letter to parents, high school administrators said they plan to keep students on a normal schedule and are working with law enforcement.
