Superintendent of Radnor Township Police Christopher Flanagan stated detectives were working with the FBI in a sweep of the school property to ensure that no threat exists. Flanagan said they anticipate school would be held Wednesday and there would be no disruption of the school day.

"This is a very serious type of incident. Whether you pull a fire alarm as a kid or call in some type of threat where it scares a multitude of people, actions like this are serious. There is a lot of things that can happen from charging, so it is a very serious offense from misdemeanor to felony level," said Superintendent Flanagan.
