Students were not evacuated from Manteo High School Tuesday when a custodian found an explosive device in a boys' bathroom because a custodian who found it took it immediately to assistant principal Carmen Melito and he rushed it out of the building. ``It was quicker and safer to do that than to wait while the students were evacuated,'' Melito said.
A story Wednesday did not explain why students were not evacuated. by CNB
