Police evacuate an area middle school after a bomb is found. Around 10:00 this morning officials at Grove Middle School reported a pipe bomb was found in the boys restroom. Officials say they believe that the bomb was *not* a prank... and that is was intended to do harm to teachers and students. When the bomb was found this morning at grove middle school... students and faculty were immediately evacuated from the building... and the school went into lock-down. Officials with the oklahoma highway patrol`s bomb squad were called in. They removed the bomb and took it to a remote location where it was detonated. Pieces of the bomb have been collected for evidence.. and officials have been interviewing students and teachers throughout the day. Officers say they do have suspects... but they are not releasing at this time if those suspects are teachers, students or if they are involved with the school in any way. No one knows right now why the middle school was targeted. Police say it was a glass pipe bomb filled with black powder, a fuse, BB`s, and Ball Bearings. The middle school is expected to re-open Tuesday under increased security. If you have any information regarding the incident you are being urged to call the Grove Police Department at 918-786-6121, or the Crime Stoppers Line at 918-786-8422. You can remain anonymous.
