Authorities have released the name of a Navy corpsman whose writings allegedly describing explosives being planted at San Clemente High School touched off a massive evacuation on the first day of class at one of Orange County's largest public school campuses.
Daniel Morgan, 22, was last seen at Camp Pendleton on Tuesday night and was absent without authorization. Officials searching for the corpsman said they believed he was driving a white Jeep Wrangler with a black top. The vehicle's California license plate is 6NKZ930.
"Many times you get crank calls on the first day of school but this is turned up a notch because this is somebody in the military who would have access to explosive devices," said Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
"We are going room by room, inch by inch," said Amormino. "It's a big campus, but all the students are safe."
Sheriff's officials did not discuss a motive or detail what Morgan allegedly described in his writings, other than to say he had placed explosives in or around San Clemente High.
At least 3,200 students and 180 members of the school's staff were evacuated, first to the campus's football stadium. Authorities later began moving the evacuees to the gymnasium after it was cleared by bomb-sniffing dogs.
Just an announcement that students could move about and use a restroom was enough to bring a cheer.
