More than a month after bomb threats were made at Orange High School, scared parents and students on Friday could breathe a sigh of relief.
"It was fear, fear for the unknown," parent Bonnie Bickerstaff Ursetti said.
At least two students were behind the emails that threatened to use a colorless explosive to blow up the school, ONN's Cristin Severance reported.
"Obviously, those kids need to be removed from school as soon as possible and hopefully receive any kind of help that they need," Bickerstaff Ursetti said.
Orange district spokesman Lou DeVincentis said that the school's investigation is over and they know who sent the emails.
"At this point, a lot of students are angry and disappointed at their classmates for their involvement in this," DeVincentis said.
Officials said that they have talked to the students involved and their parents.
The principal will decide on the discipline, and the superintendent will have to approve it before it's handed down.
"It's not as easy as in and disciplining those students on the spot. There is a process that has to be done," Devincentis said.
Bickerstaff Ursetti said that she hopes the punishment by the district, and the possible charges by the FBI, will send a message to students.
"If children are not aware that this isn't something you say to get out of a test or miss school for a few days, or you are unhappy about it. If they are not going to learn the proper channels to vent their anger this will continue," Bickerstaff Ursetti said.
