Schools in Ottawa and Gatineau were the target of more emailed bomb threats Friday.

Gatineau police tweeted at around noon that CÉGEP de l’Outaouais, Louis Reboul campus, on Sacre-Coeur, was being evacuated.

Police said there were bomb threats against three francophone colleges and Hertiage College, the anglophone CÉGEP in Gatineau.

The investigation continues.

Meanwhile, an email bomb threat against Ottawa high schools was sent Friday to Ottawa police, said Roxanne Deevey, a spokeswoman for the French-language Catholic school board. It appeared to be similar to an email sent to schools on Thursday warning of bomb attacks.

As a result, Louis Riel high school closed for the day on Thursday, students were evacuated briefly from Collège Catholique Franco-Ouest, and police conducted searches as Ridgemont and Gloucester High schools.

Police were back at Franco-Ouest Friday morning searching the building before giving an all-clear by 10:15 a.m., said Deevey. Police also searched South Carleton high school in Richmond, the target of another threat, but found nothing, said a statement from the Ottawa Carleton District School Board.

The email sent to police Friday repeated the threat made in emails Thursday that five schools would be targeted, said Deevey. But Friday’s email added that other schools may be targeted as well, she said.

Ottawa police said in a tweet earlier today they were investigating a “suspicious threat sent by email directed at schools. On going investigation. No further info at this time.”

At Ridgemont high school, officials “worked with (Ottawa police) and were advised to maintain regular school operations,” said the school board statement. “No threat was found at the school, but we are taking this situation seriously. ”

More to come.
