FREMONT (CBS SF) -- Students at a middle school in Fremont were evacuated from campus Friday morning following a bomb threat, according to police.

Fremont police said Thornton Junior High School was evacuated following the threat, which was made anonymously over email. The students were dismissed at 9 a.m. and walked to Cabrillo Shopping Center just west of the campus, according to the Fremont Unified School District.

Police said nothing suspicious was located after a thorough search. The all clear was given shortly after 10:30 a.m.
