Katie....
I'm sure it had something to do with keeping everyone calm at the time. It may sound out of wack but if they said they found a "device" then one kid would tell mom, who would tell 40 other people and the press would swarm on the school touting "remember Columbine" stuff and getting everyone riled up even more.
It's very unfortunate in this day and age that this is happening every day. We even get it in our small 4,000 resident town....downright shameful!
