Students Evacuated and Hazmat Called After Bomb Threat at L.J. Alleman School

The Lafayette Parish School System told KPEL that around 9:15 this morning, a written bomb threat was found on the walls of a bathroom at LJ Alleman School on Roselawn Boulevard. The note claimed that a bomb was going to go off at the school at 9:30.  Police were called at that time.

Lafayette Hazmat, firefighters and police went to the scene, and found no bomb on the premises.  As a precaution, students, teachers and staff were all sent next door to Grace Presbyterian Church, who opened their doors to those evacuated.

Authorities said students were able to return to classes soon after.
