ORIGINAL STORY
Slippery Rock University officials are searching and sweeping all campus buildings and grounds after receiving a bomb threat.
In a letter sent to faculty, staff and students, the university said they suspect the bomb threat is a swatting attempt. Still, University Police reported the threat to federal agencies and started a standard search and sweep.
Once the safety search is complete, the university will alert the campus again through an emailed “all clear” message. If the threat is deemed credible, the university will activate the RockAlerts emergency notification system with further instructions.
The university says there will be an increased presence of police in campus buildings while this search is underway. Any students who don’t feel safe while the investigation is ongoing are instructed to contact their professors about attendance. Faculty members should contact their manager.
