A bomb threat has prompted the evacuation of hundreds of children from a Southern California elementary school until police can make sure the campus is safe.
Glendale police Sgt. Tom Lorenz says an anonymous caller made the threat at 8:30 a.m. Monday, prompting officials at the R.D. White Elementary School to move about 880 children off campus to a supermarket parking lot about a block away.
Lorenz says police plan to search the school buildings to ensure there's no explosive device.
