SYLVESTER, GA (WALB) -

A bomb threat called in to Worth County High School about 9:30AM has caused officials to lock down all the schools in Sylvester.

The students from WCHS are now waiting in the elementary school gym.

Sylvester and Worth County authorities, with the aid of a squad from the Marine Corps Logistics Base, are checking the high school campus for a bomb, but have so far found nothing.
