How Did BHS Handle Its Lock Down?

Last week, Burlingame High School went into lock down and evacuated its school buildings following a bomb threat received by school administrators.

An arrest has since been made in the case. The female student in question is believed to have used a male student's email account to send a message alleging he had a gun and a bomb to Burlingame High administrators, and warning them that they had better lock down the school.

The female student allegedly used the male student's account without his knowledge, after he had logged into his email on a school computer and momentarily walked away, police said.
