FORT PIERCE \u2013 St. Lucie County Sheriff\u2019s Office was searching for an explosive device at Fort Pierce Central High School, 4101 25th St., Fort Pierce on Sept. 4, after the school received a call that a bomb was in the building.<\/p>\n
The call came at about 12:30 p.m., Sheriff Richard Del Toro said during a press briefing at about 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe decided to do a partial evacuation of all the students,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now, we\u2019re doing a modified dismissal, which means our walkers and drivers would be released first, then parents would be allowed on campus to pick up any students remaining. Buses would also be allowed to pick up any students remaining.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to sheriff\u2019s deputies, members of the bomb team and Fort Pierce Police were actively searching the building for any possible device but so far, nothing has been found, Del Toro said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to see a lot of police presence here, traffic is going to be congested. We\u2019re asking everyone to please be patient,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT PIERCE \u2013 St. Lucie County Sheriff\u2019s Office was searching for an explosive device at Fort Pierce Central…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":391608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[171,173,172,563],"class_list":["post-391607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news","tag-st_lucie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
