Two girls charged in elementary school bomb threats

LEESBURG - Two girls have been charged with making a bomb threat this week at Lee County Elementary School, the latest in a rash of false alarms at the county&#39;s public schools over the past several months. <br> <br> Leesburg Police Chief Charles Moore said an 11-year-old girl was charged with two counts each of felony false alarm and misdemeanor disrupting a public school as a result of a bomb threat Wednesday and one in November. <br> <br> In both cases, a handwritten note was found in a restroom, warning that a bomb would explode, he said. <br> <br> A bomb squad from Albany&#39;s Marine Corps Logistics Base searched the school both times, but found no explosives. <br> <br> Moore said a 15-year-old girl also faces the same charges as a result of another bomb threat Thursday at the elementary school. <br> <br> ``She was walking in a hall and dropped a note,&#39;&#39; he said. ``Some other students saw it and picked up the note. She said it was a prank.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Both girls face prosecution in juvenile court, Moore said. <br> <br> Lee County&#39;s high school and middle school have also received bomb threats since the beginning of the school year, Moore said.
