What started as routine summer construction at Ralph Chandler Middle School in Simpsonville turned into a bomb-squad moment, and now the release of the 911 recording is dragging that June scare back into public view.
New 911 Audio Revives June Campus Jitters
Greenville County officials have released the 911 call tied to a reported explosive found in June at a school construction site, according to FOX Carolina. Earlier reporting from FOX Carolina noted that investigators and the bomb squad were dispatched to Ralph Chandler Middle School around 8:30 a.m. on June 16, after contract workers uncovered what appeared to be an explosive device near the front of the campus.
The school’s own profile on Greenville County Schools lists Ralph Chandler Middle at 4231 Fork Shoals Road in Simpsonville. That address is the site where an apparent leftover piece of construction history suddenly upgraded a quiet summer project into a full-on law enforcement response and a tense asterisk on the district’s off-season work schedule.
