Savannah Country Day “Mighty Hornets”
Administrators at a Savannah school waited a day to call police about a bomb found on campus Friday.
A bomb squad with the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department removed the device, which tested positive for explosives, and “rendered it safe” at an off-site location Saturday evening, police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wilson said. Wilson said administrators at Savannah Country Day School — a prekindergarten through 12th grade school — said they waited to call police because they were trying to determine the best course of action.
Bonnell said he did not believe anyone at the school was ever in danger even though the bomb was on campus for a day before police were called. The school held a football game on Friday night after the bomb was discovered.
The campus was closed Saturday while police removed the device and collected evidence.
Uh, so, if the police had been called Friday — someone may have figured out the campus would be closed and no Friday night football game. At least they have their priorities straight. Right.
