A spam email has gone around nationwide to schools, businesses and other public facilities. Several media outlets across the nation also received bomb threats Thursday afternoon.  Law enforcement agencies across the country dismissed the threats, which they said were meant to cause disruption and compel recipients into sending money and are not considered credible. One local School was included in the bomb threats. Cabool Elementary School was evacuated Thursday after the email was received by local authorities.  Cabool Police Department report a staff member received an e-mail at 12:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon demanding a payment of $20,000 in Bit Coins. The e-mail allegedly stated if payment was not made, a bomb would be set off at the employee’s place of employment.   The facilities at Cabool were searched and no bomb was found.  An automated message was sent to parents around 1 p.m. Students returned to their classrooms a short time later.
