OGDEN — Ogden police and bomb-sniffing dogs searched Shadow Valley Elementary School in Ogden on Tuesday, looking for an explosive device after a threatening letter was found in the school. All the students were evacuated, and parents were called to pick up their children.

The scene resembled an investigation and evacuation of students at Mountain View Elementary School in Layton after a pipe bomb was found on that school’s roof Monday.

After every highly publicized incident similar to the April 15 bombing at the Boston Marathon, bomb threats seem to peak nationwide, and Utah is no exception, officials said.

CLEARFIELD — Sometimes in life, a miracle comes dressed as a tragedy.
