The Sioux City School district says the threat was identified by a student that saw the message displayed on a Minecraft message board.

It stated the bomb was allegedly scheduled to go off at 1:28 pm Tuesday.

School Superintendent Dr. Paul Gausman says student safety was the top priority and a school evacuation was ordered:
