Police Shoot Teddy at Jehovah's Witness Hall

Fri Jan 24, 8:14 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - A Danish bomb squad shot to pieces a
teddy bear left on the doorstep of a Jehovah's Witness hall on Thursday evening with a note saying it contained a
bomb, police said.

A group of Jehovah's Witnesses on their way into a meeting
had found the cuddly toy with a note reading: "If you touch
me I will blow up. I am a bomb."

Police told the 80 Jehovah's Witnesses to leave the hall in
a quiet suburb six miles northwest of Copenhagen, and closed off the surrounding area to traffic.

A bomb-disposal robot then approached the bear. "The bomb
unit fired two shots at the teddy bear and there was no reaction. There is nothing that indicates that there

actually was a bomb," a Copenhagen police duty officer told
Reuters.

Police said they were trying to establish who was
responsible for the hoax.

my school had quite a few bomb scares---one time when i was teaching spanish at the daycare we had to each take or carry 5 kids to get them as far away from the building as possible.

When I was in 7th grade we had the brown out-fire-smoke scare where the sub teacher named Miss Horsey ran through the halls shouting 'it's a real fire' and was never seen in our school again. We also had a chemical spill where my lit teacher got hosed down. Then we come to HS where we've had a gun threat from someone in my grade..bomb scare which ended up just being a smoke bomb..and lots of heating pipes burst.
