Wildwood Elementary School is resuming back to normal after a bomb threat triggered an investigation and evacuation on Tuesday morning, according to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office. 

Law enforcement said no explosives were found on the school's campus. Additionally, authorities were able to quickly identify the origin of the letter and its sender, and determined that the bomb threat was not an immediate threat due to the sender's identity and location, according to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office. 

As deputies investigated the written bomb threat, which was received via mail, all students were evacuated to nearby First Baptist Church. 

The Sumter County Sheriff's Office will continue to investigate, and said it will "bring those responsible to justice."

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Sumter County Sheriff's Office at 352-793-2621.
