Police Respond To Bomb Threat At Eagle Point Middle School
- 09/11/25
On 09-11-25, the Eagle Point Police Department SRO was advised of a possible threat of an explosive device at Eagle Point Middle School made by a student. The SRO was able to verify that a threat was made about a possible device at the school. After additional investigation, it could not be verified that there was not an actual device at the school. Out of an abundance of caution, school officials evacuated the building while additional resources were called to assist with the investigation. The student who made the threat was located, and officers on scene were able to narrow down a possible location within the building for the alleged device. Assistance was requested from the Oregon State Police Explosives Unit to help determine if there was a valid device.
Students were moved to Eagle Rock Elementary in order to ensure safety. Additional officers from the Oregon State Police and Central Point Police Department responded to ensure the safety of the students as they were moved to the second facility. Staff from Fire District 3 also responded to provide support for potential fires or injuries in the event of an active device.
Staff worked to notify parents of options for picking up their students early, and a reunification plan was set in motion. The middle school building was secured, and based on information obtained through the investigation, one area of the school was completely isolated until the area could be cleared of any possible hazards. Officers remained at the elementary school for security purposes while the investigation continued.
Technicians from the OSP Explosive Unit checked the area for the threat and verified there was no explosive device on scene. Once the area was cleared, school staff and administration were notified. Officers remained on scene to complete the investigation and remained in the area while additional arrangements were made for the release of all students.
The student making the threat is being charged with Disorderly Conduct in the First Degree, and the case is being referred to the Juvenile Department for review and filing of charges. Any threats made by students or the public will be taken seriously and charged accordingly.
The safety of students and staff is our highest priority. We are grateful for the cooperation of families, staff, and our partner agencies, whose quick action and coordination helped ensure today’s safe outcome. We are also appreciative of the working relationships with other local agencies that assisted with the case.
