San Ysidro High School in San Diego was evacuated this afternoon due to a bomb threat on campus at 3:20pm.

Students and staff were led away to a nearby sports field while officers swept the school for hazardous objects or substances.

According to San Diego Fire-Rescue Department Maurice Luque, there were 10 overpressure devices found on campus.

Six exploded on their own and the remaining were detonated in a controlled detonation.

The devices were considered very dangerous and lethal.
It is not known who put them in the school at this time.

This is an update among other news reports from San Diego:

The 18-year-old senior who planted the makeshift explosive devices -- plastic bottles containing some type of acid and another unidentified substance -- was under arrest within an hour of the explosions, which occurred about 3:15 p.m. in a patio area, according to San Diego police and fire officials.


The teen, whose name was not immediately available, is expected to face felony charges of detonating explosives and possessing bomb-making materials, authorities said.

The youth told investigators he had brought a dozen of the bottle bombs to the Airway Road campus, said Maurice Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Six detonated, and authorities found and confiscated six others that either had not been fully assembled or were complete but failed to blow up for some reason.

It was the best senior prank in the syhs history. whoever did it i give him/her props.

the media is always trying to make things more exiting and making them sound dangerous, we all know it was just a few cherry bombs that you can buy anywhere even in the ice cream trucks.

This high school senior is an 18-year old adult and should now be treated like one! Excuses, excuses, excuses. Blah, blah, blah! He deserves to go to jail for as long as the law will allow. He was smart enough to manufacture these explosive devices, now his intelligence will enable him to figure out a way to survive in prison without getting gang-raped! DON'T DO THE CRIME IF YOU CAN'T PAY THE TIME! Tough luck loser, I hope you're little prank was worth a lifetime of laughter to you because everyone I know will forget about this by tomorrow.

TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN (AND COMMUNITY), BETTER PARENTING IS REQUIRED!

6/7/09 Las Vegas Review-Journal article from "In Brief" section on pg. 2B; Dateline: San Diego, "Student faces charges for homemade bombs!"   An 18-yr-old San Ysidro HS honor student, awarded a full scholarship to the U.S. Air Force Academy, has been arrested after he allegedly put 12 homemade bombs in school trash cans as a prank and 3 of them exploded!  He was jailed facing a dozen felony charges and a bail of $860,000.   BETTER PARENTING WOULD HAVE HELPED THIS STUDENT ENVISION WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD HOLD IF HE FOLLOWED-THROUGH WITH HIS HAIR-BRAINED PRANK!   DID HE EVEN CONSIDER: LIFE, LIMB, OR SCHOLARSHIP??     IT'S PAST TIME FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION TO STRESS "BETTER PARENTING AWARENESS" IN YOUR CITY!


PARENTS, HOWEVER, SHOULD TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THEIR CHILDREN:


"FORTUNATELY, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO BECOME A BETTER PARENT!"


So here's information about a new Parenting Awareness Book that Disputes Dr. Spock's Theory and "Helps Parents Get on the Same Page" and Learn How To Regain and Keep The Respect Of Their Children!

Written for Parents & Grandparents of Toddlers to Preteens, this book Helps Understand: How To Help Guide Your Children Toward Better Character Traits! In addition, it also offers some faith-based solutions for troubled children!


"PARENTS ARE BEING PLAYED LIKE A VIDEO GAME!"
by Gregory L. Chester (ISBN #9781-4259-3132-2) (also used for At-Risk-Families)

This is a New and Uniquely Different Parenting Book, getting excellent reviews, that's helping Parents and Grandparents of Toddlers to Preteens to understand and become more aware of ways to Regain the Respect of our Youth, while helping to Build Good Character Traits in their children. It also contains ammunition to help dispel the need for smoking, drugs, or watching gory, violent Video Games.

NOTE: This book is NOT your typical chronological events-type teaching aid for understanding childhood development. It's a unique, "Down-in-the-Trenches" Character Trait Awareness Book for the many problems about to face parents before they start and suggestions how to react to them, when they do!

The Author believes that a lack of respect causes an increase in frustration, which in turn can cause an increase in violence! Therefore, he believes better Parenting Awareness is the answer to many adolescent problems, frustrations, stresses, depressions, substance & child abuses, as well as teenage runaways, suicides, and maybe even domestic violence! He also believes that to Regain the Respect of our Youth, we must begin with the younger generation!

At the present time, the Las Vegas Metro Police Dept., Division of Crimes Against Youth & Family and the Missing Persons/Juvenile Detail, as well as the Nevada Child Seekers, a nonprofit organization for families of Runaways, are referring this unique Parenting Awareness Book to Parents and Grandparents of "At-Risk-Families."  In addition, the Henderson and Las Vegas-Clark County Library Districts have stocked the book in their libraries. Just recently, a meeting was held at the Clark County School District's Guidance and Counseling Services Center to also discuss referring the book.
