Police investigating bomb threats at several schools across Kentucky

Authorities say none of the threats have been deemed credible as troopers investigate whether the calls were part of a robocalling campaign.

  • Kentucky State Police are investigating multiple school bomb threats across the Commonwealth reported on Tuesday, coordinating with local law enforcement to evaluate each incident.
  • Preliminary information suggests the threats may be linked to a robocalling campaign, with investigators working to identify the source of the calls.
  • Anderson County High School was evacuated Tuesday morning following the reported threat, while all other Anderson County Schools were placed on lockdown as police assessed the situation.
  • None of the threats have been deemed credible, though investigators continue evaluating each incident thoroughly; this follows similar hoax calls at the Louisville Zoo on Friday.
  • KSP declared, "These threats are illegal, disruptive, and unacceptable," and will thoroughly investigate each incident and hold responsible parties accountable; Jefferson County Public Schools confirmed to WLKY they received no threats.
