1Trenton school evacuated and searched after bomb scare

TRENTON, NJ – A bomb threat targeting a registered polling location at Hedgepeth Williams Elementary School forced an early morning response by law enforcement on Tuesday, just hours before voters arrived at the site.

According to the Trenton Police Department, the threat was reported around 5:00 a.m. at 301 Gladstone Avenue, where the school is serving as a voting location. Officers from both Trenton Police and the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office, along with K-9 units, conducted a thorough sweep of the building. No explosive devices were found.

The building was cleared and declared safe before polls opened. Classes were not in session due to Election Day, so no students were present at the time of the incident.
