A fire department bomb squad found no active threat after a person on Thursday morning reported to authorities that he placed five explosive devices inside Fossil Ridge High School in north Fort Worth.

The school was temporarily placed on a secure status as a precaution, a Fort Worth police spokesperson said. Operations have since resumed to normal at the school in the 4100 block of Thompson Road.

The bomb threat was made about 8:45 a.m.

A Keller school district spokesperson did not immediately respond to a reporter’s request for information.
