Bomb threats to schools across Britain AND the US as 'robo' callers vow to 'behead and shoot children'

Bomb threats have been made to dozens of US schools - just hours after at least 27 schools across the UK were terrorised during GCSE exam season. Thousands of students were evacuated at British schools, from Kent all the way up to Newcastle, following a series of anonymous phone calls.
At one school, 'repeated' calls warned of an on-site bomb that 'will take children's heads off', while other
institutions were threatened with pupil shootings.
And now, it has emerged that schools across America are falling victim to similar threats - with pupils evacuated in New England, New York, Massachusetts and elsewhere.In many cases, 'robocalls' were reportedly made, warning officials of hidden bombs. These automated calls were targeted at elementary, middle and high schools.Some school were evacuated after a caller apparently told teachers explosives were hidden in the building.
 
It is currently unclear whether the threats in Britain and the US are connected.
Earlier today, a teacher at a UK school told the Mirror Online how a caller had threatened to shoot pupils and detonate a bomb.
Another school official added that the message was pre-recorded and featured an American voice which looped three times over a minute and a half.
The caller told a receptionist that "if the school called the police the bomb would be detonated immediately".
Police have been forced to close primaries and secondaries while responding to the threats which have left parents panicked and confused.
It was initially thought that the calls were isolated to a small number of schools in Kent but reports have emerged of disruption across the country.
 
All the pupils at the Canterbury Academy in Kent were pulled from class, including 240 who were sitting a GCSE English exam.
Police were called to the site and conducted a painstaking search of the buildings, but were unable to find anything.
Parents received a text reading: "We have evacuated the school with police agreement following 3 phone calls regarding an explosive device. Lessons will resume tomorrow."
One student told Mirror Online: "We thought it was just a regular fire alarm but then we were told it wasn't a drill and were escorted to the far end of the field and held there while the police conducted a search.
"I don't feel safe going into school anymore and yet we were expected to carry on our days as if nothing ever happened."
