BELMONT COUNTY, Ohio —

Two students have confessed to making bomb threats at three different schools, Union Local School District Superintendent Kirk Glasgow said Tuesday.

One student confessed to investigators at the Belmont County Sheriff's Office to making threats to the middle school and high school, Glasgow said.

A second student confessed to threatening the elementary school with a bomb on Tuesday.


A total of five threats have been made since Nov. 19: one at the high school, one at the middle school and three at the elementary school. Two of the three threats made toward the elementary school were on Tuesday.

Glasgow said on Monday that students have missed so much instructional time, the district may need to make up some of their classroom work over Christmas break.
