The entire Princeton University campus was evacuated Tuesday morning after the school received bomb threats to “multiple unspecified campus buildings.” The school announced the evacuation on their website at 10 a.m.
“There has been a bomb threat to multiple unspecified campus buildings. Please evacuate the campus and all University offices immediately and go home unless otherwise directed by your supervisor. Public Safety officers and Princeton Police will direct drivers leaving the campus and those without cars will be directed to evacuation sites. You will receive an update later today. Do not return to campus for any reason until advised otherwise,” the first post reads.
In an update at 1:30 p.m. the university said authorities had brought in bomb-sniffing dogs. “Law enforcement authorities are inspecting buildings on the Princeton University campus in the wake of a bomb threat. Bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in, and the search of campus facilities was expected to take several hours,” officials wrote. “No estimate on when the building sweep might be completed was available at the time of this update. The University takes all threats to the safety and well being of our community members and visitors seriously and is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation.”
The campus was still being searched as of 2:30. No other details were immediately available.
