Police responded to Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy on Vernon Street Wednesday after a bomb threat was found written on a bathroom wall at the school.
The threat said "I'm going to blow up this school," according to superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez.

The building was given the all clear around 2 p.m.
