Has a bomb threat at a school/business in the US EVER resulted in a bomb having been found?

When we lived in Germany WAY back when people were always calling in bomb threats to the school. Nothing was ever found then.

The Bomb Threat at Gun Guy's Office

CARMEL, Ind.–Carmel Police were investigating a threat against the law office of Guy Relford, known as the “Gun Guy”, Wednesday. Relford said police had an entire block roped off around his office at Range Line Rd., and Main St., while they used a bomb dog to search his office and drones and...

Relford was given a choice as to whether he wanted to stay. While he was talking with police the person who made the threat called his phone. He put him on speaker.

“It was guy who just repeatedly said he was gonna kill me. Anything I said he just told me to shut the F up,” said Relford.

Relford said he chose not to be terrorized and calmly went outside and smoked a cigar.

“I don’t know what the motivation was. I don’t know who this individual is.”

Carmel Police are trying to find that out.

Well, those two examples were bombs right? Not bomb threats?

Ever?

A little closer to home, the bomb in the following story was mailed to a lawyer in my building (not my firm), but exploded at the post office before being delivered.

One of the guys working for me (indirectly) is named Kehoe, I better start rating him a little higher at eval time!

This guy missed killing his lawyer Scruggs, but he was pretty screwed up afterward.

We recently had a situation where we had reason to believe that an unstable person did not appreciate certain litigation efforts of some of our lawyers. There were threats a-plenty and pictures of the guy were circulated. So far, so good. Not the first time. Probably won't be the last.

When you deal with people during emotionally charged periods in their lives....threats are going to happen. Seriously, I thought I had encountered irrational people back when I sold cars on "used car row" in Grand Rapids, but had not seen anything yet.

I bet Doc's stories are incredible.

I wonder if the caller mentioned kerosene.

Lawyers.... Always looking for a new angle to drum up business.

I'm glad nobody is hurt. Hopefully the lunatic can be rounded up. Or, for efficiency maybe he'll just stick the bomb up his-

So.. anti-gunner, or unhappy client?

He's probably just upset that Guy wouldn't take his Red Flag case...

 

[hoosierdoc]

it was me…and it wasn’t a bomb threat, what I said was…”I’m fixing to blow up the bathroom!”

Does Dan Forestal have phone privileges? Maybe it was (non-client, Guy said no) the guy who shot at his neighbor who tried to run over him with a car... 8 hours later.

That's how you know you've made it, when cuckoobirds are threatening to blow you up

@FrankNstein is on our EOD team, so he's probably more likely to know.

Anecdotally from my personal experience if it's not 0% it's got to be real close to 0%.

We aren't even dispatched to threats unless something is found by persons in charge of the location the threat was directed to or responding patrol officers. I agree that the percentage of actual devices found after a threat is very low.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I love how CPD discounted the validity of the call and declined to SWAT him.

I can imagine them thinking "Wait. He is supposedly in the office of a VERY well armed firearms trainer during business hours? Not happenin'. If anybody is calling us from his office, its Guy telling us to come clean up the mess."

It sounds like it was an attempted SWATing and the loon behind it will (hopefully) be cuffed and stuffed soon.

There does seem to be a big difference between "bomb threat calls" and "reports of suspected explosive devices". One has a lot more things that can go BOOM!!

If the caller wanted a SWATting, he should have mentioned murder and/or hostages. But the caller is probably a dumbass.
