Threat made against Jewish school

Greensboro, N.C. – Police and the FBI are looking for someone who
sent a letter that included racially charged language and threats against
people involved with a Jewish school in Greensboro.

 

Greensboro police spokeswoman Susan Danielsen said Tuesday the B’nai
Shalom Day School was closed for a second day. Danielsen says a letter opened
by a school official Monday “expressed a clear threat to the school and
its occupants.”

 

She says the letter was mailed from somewhere in the area, and
authorities are pursuing some leads but have made no arrests.

 

FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch says the letter included “racially
charged language” and agents are investigating whether the sender could be
guilty of a hate crime.

 

The school shares an address with the Beth David Synagogue.
