Students at Croton Elementary were briefly evacuated from their classrooms Monday afternoon following an apparent remark from a student referring to a bomb, Melbourne police and Brevard Public Schools reported.
The incident began shortly after noon. Police said a staff member was rushing past a group of students when they heard a student say something to the effect of, "what is there, a bomb," police said.
The Brevard County sheriff's bomb-sniffing dogs were deployed to the campus and the school was evacuated as a precaution. The unidentified student was questioned but denied making any bomb threats. Police later determined that the student was not making a claim about having a bomb. No arrests were made.
