Second day of school closures in Springfield, Ohio due to bomb threats.

Bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio resulted in the evacuation and closure of public schools and municipal buildings for a second day. Students at Perrin Woods and Snowhill Elementary Schools were moved to a different location, while Roosevelt Middle School was closed due to information from the police department. City commissioners and a municipal employee also received bomb threat emails. The threats targeted multiple locations, including Springfield City Hall and several schools. Authorities, with the help of explosive detection canines, conducted inspections and cleared the facilities. The city has been in the national spotlight due to false rumors about its Haitian population, including claims that immigrants were stealing and eating pets. City officials and police have debunked these claims as untrue. Former President Trump and JD Vance have perpetuated these rumors as part of their stance on immigration. This is an ongoing situation with updates to follow. Alicia Victoria Lozano is a reporter for NBC News covering climate change, wildfires, and drug law politics, with contributions from David K.
