As the search went on, the school was put into a hold-in-place before eventually transitioning to a staggered dismissal of students. Once those inside were evacuated, a search of the school revealed no threat, police said.
The threat was confirmed to not be associated with any current or former students, Bronxville Police said, adding that because the department does not have a reliable relationship with any law enforcement agency in Malaysia, it is "unlikely" that an arrest will occur.
