GRAPEVINE, Texas - Grapevine police are looking for the person responsible for a false
bomb threat at Cross Timbers Middle School. The Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District did not release any details about the threat but said all students and staff
were safely evacuated Tuesday morning.
There was a heavy police presence as officers searched the campus. Pool Road was closed and traffic was diverted away from the school. Nearby Timberline Elementary School and
Grapevine High School were also placed in lockout mode as a safety precaution. Everyone
was allowed to return to the building after police gave the all-clear.
The district said it will send updates to parents.

NBC 5 News Cross Timbers Middle School in Grapevine, Texas after a threat was called into the school Monday, Feb. 11, 2019.
Students attending schools in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD will see an increased police presence on campuses when they return to school Monday, according to a letter from the
district's superintendent. After Cross Timbers Middle School was evacuated Tuesday due to a bomb threat, four more schools received threats Friday, GCISD Superintendent Robin
Ryan wrote in the letter.
Friday's calls all came from the same number that threatened Cross Timbers Middle School Tuesday. Cross Timbers and Grapevine middle schools received shooting threats
Friday, Glenhope Elementary School received a threat of explosives outside the building and Colleyville Middle School received a call from the number that went unanswered, but
officials opted to place the school on lockdown due to the nature of the other calls, Ryan
wrote.
"Both the District (sic) and our police departments are committed to providing the
necessary resources to ensure that students, parents and staff feel safe when they are at
school," Ryan wrote. In addition to an increased police presence on campus, Ryan wrote counselors would be available to students.
"I, like you, am frustrated by the events of this week," he wrote. "In the face of adversity, I
am so proud of our students and staff. They were respectful, adaptable, cooperative and responsive." Ryan emphasized the threats take valuable resources away from the school
district and police departments in Colleyville, Grapevine and Euless.
Cross Timbers and Grapevine middle schools were among several schools across North Texas to receive threats in February.
